Introduction to the Theory of Cooperative Games

Focusing on cooperative game theory, this book explores key solutions such as the core, bargaining set, kernel, nucleolus, and Shapley value for TU games, as well as core and Shapley value for NTU games. Each solution is examined in dedicated chapters that delve into its properties and variants. The authors also address continuity, dynamics, and geometric aspects of TU games, culminating in unique axiomatizations not found in other texts. Additionally, it offers a comprehensive analysis of cooperative games without side payments, filling a significant gap in existing literature.
