ON SOLUTIONS FOR N-PERSON GAMES

Abstract

A solution concept for n-person cooperative games in characteristic function form was introduced by von Neumann and Morgenstern in 1944. This study reviews the definitions of an n-person game and then describes two games whose sets of solutions are rather restricted. The first is a five-person game which has a unique solution that is nonconvex. The second is an eight-person game that has no solution possessing the symmetry of the characteristic function.
