payment matrices is shown to be a lattice, which guarantees the existence of a greatest and a least clearing payment …. Multiplicity of clearing payment matrices is both a theoretical and a practical concern. We present a new condition for uniqueness … division rules involving priorities are not positive monotonic, uniqueness of the clearing payment matrix is a much bigger …
