A Simple Way to Obtain the Sufficient Nonemptiness Conditions for Core of TU Game
Abstract
The system of linear constraints like one that determines the core of TU game is considered. Expressing its basis solutions through characteristic function we obtain a list of sufficient conditions under which the core is nonempty. Some of them are the generalizations of known results.
Keywords:
cooperative TU game, core, balancedness, sufficient conditions
