Core of the assignment game via fixed point methods

Author

  • Kucuksenel, Serkan

Abstract

This paper shows that the core outcomes of the assignment game coincides with the set of fixed points of a certain function. The lattice property of the core, as well as its non-emptiness, are proved using Tarski's fixed point theorem.
