Abstract

We study the geometric structure of a particular type of nonempty convex polytopes that are the intersection of an n-rectangle with a hyperplane $$x_1+\dots +x_n=E$$ x 1 + ⋯ + x n = E , $$E>0$$ E > 0 . This type of polytopes arise naturally when studying, for instance, the set of awards vectors for a claims problem, the core of the game associated with a bankruptcy problem, the core-cover set of a game, or the class of two-bound core games. We explore in detail the geometry of such a polytope and provide explicit expressions to compute its volume and its centroid. In particular, we describe a procedure to compute the average-of-awards rule for a claims problem directly from the parameters of the problem. We show that computing the average-of-awards rule is $$\#$$ # P-complete.
