Nash-stable coalition partition and potential functions in games with coalition structure

  • Gusev, Vasily V.

Abstract

This work proves the existence of a coalition structure that is both Nash-stable and strongly permutation-stable for classes of coalition partition games. Among them are games where player’s payoff are Aumann-Drze value or the weighted value. These results are obtained by adapting the definition of a potential function for coalition partition games.
