NucleolusCapita {GameTheory}

Per Capita Nucleolus

Description

This function computes the per capita nucleolus solution of a gains game with a maximum of 4 agents.

Usage

NucleolusCapita(x, type = "Gains")

Arguments

x

Object of class Game

type

Specify if the game refers to Gains or Cost

Details

The per capita nucleolus represents a measure of dissatisfaction per capita of such a coalition. It is also an individually rational distribution of the worth of the grand coalition in which the maximum per capita dissatisfaction is minimized. Formally, is defined like the nucleolus but taking into the account the per capita excess.

Value

The command returns a table with the following elements:

v(S)

Individual value of player i

x(S)

Nucleolus solution of the player i

Ei

Excess of the player i
