Games on lattices, multichoice games and the shapley value: a new approach

Multichoice games, as well as many other recent attempts to generalize the notion of classical cooperative game, can be casted into the framework of lattices. We propose a general definition for games on lattices, together with an interpretation. Several definitions of the Shapley value of a multichoice games have already been given, among them the original one due to Hsiao and Raghavan, and the one given by Faigle and Kern. We propose a new approach together with its axiomatization, more in the spirit of the original axiomatization of Shapley, and avoiding a high computational complexity. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2007
