The main goal of this paper is to understand the reasons driving the coincidence of different allocation rules for different classes of games. We define a new symmetry property, reverse symmetry, and study its geometric and game theoretic implications. In particular, we show that most classic allocation rules satisfy it. Then, we introduce and study a notion of orthogonality between TU-games, which allows to establish a restricted additivity property for the nucleolus. Also, in our analysis we…

TLDR
The analysis identifies that energyapportionment is a common problem in different fields and reviews five previously applied energy apportionment policies and identifies relevant further research.

Introduction to the Theory of Cooperative Games
"Introduction to the Theory of Cooperative Games" systematically studies the main solutions of cooperative games: the core, bargaining set, kernel, nucleolus, and the Shapley value of TU games, and…
On the Complexity of Cooperative Solution Concepts
TLDR
The von Neumann-Morgenstern solution is pointed out that its existence may not even be decidable, and many of these results generalize to the case in which the game is presented by a hypergraph with edges of size k > 2.
Geometric Properties of the Kernel, Nucleolus, and Related Solution Concepts
TLDR
Two solution concepts for cooperative games in characteristic-function form, the kernel and the nucleolus, are studied in their relationship to a number of other concepts, most notably the core, to analyze the behavior of the strong e-core as e varies.
Distributing Dividends in Games with Ordered Players
A situation in which a finite set of players can obtain certain payoffs by cooperation can be described by a cooperative game with transferable utility, or simply a TU-game. A solution for TU-games…
