A Theory of Endogenous Coalition Structures [PDF]

open access: yesGames and Economic Behavior, 1998
Consider an environment with widespread externalities, and suppose that binding agreements can be written. We study coalition formation in such a setting. Our analysis proceeds by defining on a partition function an extensive-form bargaining game. We establish the existence of a stationary subgame perfect equilibrium for such a game.

Complexity of coalition structure generation

open access: yesInternational Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2011
We revisit the coalition structure generation problem in which the goal is to partition the players into exhaustive and disjoint coalitions so as to maximize the social welfare. One of our key results is a general polynomial-time algorithm to solve the problem for all coalitional games provided that player types are known and the number of player types

A Bargaining Solution With Level Structure

open access: yesInternational Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2019
Presently, a conventional coalition structure can no more cover all the types of cooperative structures in practice, external cooperation between the coalitions also affects the payoff allocation between the participants.

Solidarity in games with a coalition structure [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical Social Sciences, 2010
A new axiomatic characterization of the two-step Shapley value Kamijo (2009) is presented based on a solidarity principle of the members of any union: when the game changes due to the addition or deletion of players outside the union, all members of the union will share the same gains/losses.

Coalitions and conflict: A longitudinal analysis of men's politics

open access: yesEvolutionary Human Sciences, 2021
To negotiate conflict and navigate status hierarchy, individuals in many species form coalitions. We describe inter-personal conflicts and assess theories of coalition formation in a small-scale human society.

An anytime algorithm for optimal coalition structure generation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Coalition formation is a fundamental type of interaction that involves the creation of coherent groupings of distinct, autonomous, agents in order to efficiently achieve their individual or collective goals.

How does community context influence coalitions in the formation stage? a multiple case study based on the Community Coalition Action Theory

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2010
Background Community coalitions are rooted in complex and dynamic community systems. Despite recognition that environmental factors affect coalition behavior, few studies have examined how community context impacts coalition formation.

Cooperative Fuzzy Games with a Coalition Structure and Interval Payoffs [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2013
Based on the extension Hukuhara difference between interval numbers, a generalized form of cooperative fuzzy games with a coalition structure and interval payoffs is proposed, which can be seen as an extension of crisp case.
