Domination Structures and Multicriteria Problems in N-Person Games.

Abstract

Multiple criteria decision problems with one decision maker have been recognized and discussed in the recent literature in optimization theory, operations research and management science. The corresponding concept with n-decision makers, namely multicriteria n-person games, has not yet been extensively explored. In this paper the authors first demonstrate that existing solution concepts for single criterion n-person games in both normal form and characteristic function form induce domination structures (similar to those defined and studied by Yu for multicriteria single decision maker problems) in various spaces, including the payoff space, the imputation space and the coalition space. The authors then illustrate that a multicriteria problem can naturally arise in decision situtations involving (partial) conflict among n persons.
