The core is, the most intuitive solution concept in cooperative game theory. An intuitively acceptable axiom system for … the core might reinforce its position as the most natural" solution. An axiomatization of the core may serve two other …, more important goals: (1) by obtaining axioms for the core, those important properties of solutions are singled out that …
