Complements, Mollifiers and the Propensity to Disrupt.

Abstract

Gately (1974) and Littlechild and Vaidya (1976) defined and studied ratio measures of 'disruption propensity' of coalitions in an n-person game. The authors define and study new incremental measures giving rise to a wide variety of 'disruption solution' concepts free of various ratio defects and affording advantages of analysis and acceptability in terms of solution specifications. Various 'mollifier' and 'homomollifier' solution concepts are characterized which appear to be of promising utility. (Author)
