Homomonotone Games and Monocore Solutions. Revision.

Abstract

A new solution concept, the Monocore, for superadditive n-person cooperative games is introduced. Based on the notion of strong-superadditivity or homomonotonicity, it transforms any superadditive game into a non-empty core game and then finds a unique imputation in the core of the transformed game. The Monocore is applied to games in characteristic function from and in homomollifier form and a way of comparison is suggested. A general class of Monocore solutions is described and related to some aspects of Information Theory. (Author)
