Coalition Formation among Farsighted Agents
Games, 2010 A set of coalition structures P is farsightedly stable (i) if all possible deviations from any coalition structure p belonging to P to a coalition structure outside P are deterred by the threat of ending worse off or equally well off, (ii) if there ...

Modeling the Optimal Coalition Structure Using the Core Solution Concept [PDF]
چشمانداز مدیریت صنعتی, 2021 Coalition formation is an important step towards developing the social welfare by improving the performance. This is pursued in two main research streams: (i) algorithmic approaches to achieve the optimal coalition structure and (ii) cooperative game ...

Connectivity Guarantee Within UAV Cluster: A Graph Coalition Formation Game Approach
IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society, 2023 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) clustering is promising for performing large-scale missions because of high mobility and easy deployment. However, the connectivity problems caused by the high mobility of UAVs and the interferences are mostly ignored in ...

On coalition formation: durable coalition structures [PDF]
Mathematical Social Sciences, 2003 A hedonic game consists of a finite set of players and, for each one of them, a preference relation (complete preordering) on the set of coalitions to which the player belongs. The concept is hereditary for subsets of players. A coalition structure (CS, in the sequel) is a partition of the player set.

Altruism in coalition formation games
Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, 2023 AbstractNguyen et al. (2016) introduced altruistic hedonic games in which agents’ utilities depend not only on their own preferences but also on those of their friends in the same coalition. We propose to extend their model to coalition formation games in general, considering also the friends in other coalitions.

Question of Timing: Pre-Electoral Coalitions in Multiparty Presidential Regimes
Brazilian Political Science Review, 2023 This paper focuses on the timing of coalition formation under presidential systems. While elections in parliamentary regimes have recently been characterized by a high degree of uncertainty both in the results and the formation of cabinets, this is not ...

Coalition Formation and Stability [PDF]
Group Decision and Negotiation, 2018 This paper aims to develop, for any cooperative game, a solution notion that enjoys stability and consists of a coalition structure and an associated payoff vector derived from the Shapley value. To this end, two concepts are combined: those of strong Nash equilibrium and Aumann--Dr\`{e}ze coalitional value.

Coalition Formation and Stability [PDF]
Social Choice and Welfare, 2006 This paper studies a class of NTU coalition formation games in which every player’s payoff depends only on the members of her coalition. We identify four natural conditions on individuals’ preferences and show that, under each condition, stable (core) allocations exists.
