The Pre-Kernel as a Tractable Solution for Cooperative Games An Exercise in Algorithmic Game Theory

This present book provides an alternative approach to study the pre-kernel solution of transferable utility games based on a generalized conjugation theory from convex analysis. Although the pre-kernel solution possesses an appealing axiomatic foundation that lets one consider this solution concept...
