Efficiency Axioms for simplicial complexes

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study the notion of efficiency for cooperative games on simplicial complexes. In such games, the grand coalition [n][n] may be forbidden, and, thus, it is a non-trivial problem to study the total number of payoff vΔv_Δ of a cooperative game (Δ,v)(Δ, v). We address this question in the more general setting, by characterizing the individual values that satisfy the general efficient requirement vΔgenv_Δ^{gen} for a generic efficiency assignment. The traditional and the probabilistic efficiency are treated as a special case of this general efficiency. Finally, we introduce a new notion of efficiency arising from the combinatorial and topological property of the simplicial complex ΔΔ. The efficiency in this scenario is called simplicial and we characterize the individual values fulfilling this constraint.
