of coalitions are explicitly taken into account. We formulate conditions under which it leads to a core element and …

We generalize the characterizations of the positive core and the positive prekernel to TU games with precedence … constraints and show that the positive core is characterized by non-emptiness (NE), boundedness (BOUND), covariance under … generalized Davis-Maschler reduced games, and the possibility of nondiscrimination. The bounded positive core, i.e., the union of …

It is well-known that the core on several domains of cooperative transferable utility (TU) and nontransferable utility … is shown that, if communication structures are present, the core may still be characterized on balanced TU games, on … totally balanced TU games, on NTU games with a nonempty core, on the domains of all TU or NTU games, and on several other …

, it is shown that a decreasing unit price function is a sufficient condition for a non-empty core: the Direct Price … solution is both a core element and a marginal vector. It is seen that the nucleolus of an MCP-game can be derived in …

theoretic perspective. A corresponding preparation sequencing game is defined and the focus is on the core and nucleolus of such …

representation we also define a generalized Bird allocation which we show to be in the core of the corresponding appropriate …

family sequencing game has a non-empty core by showing that a particular marginal vector belongs to the core.Finally, we …
