Abstract

In this paper we introduce a class of cost TU-games arising from continuous single facility location problems. We give some sufficient conditions in order that a game in this class has a non empty core. For the particular subclasses of Weber and minimax location games we study under what conditions the proportionally egalitarian allocation rule selects core allocations.

Zusammenfassung.

Ausgehend von kontinuierlichen 1-Standortproblemen wird in diesem Paper eine neue Klasse von kostenbasierten TU-Spielen eingeführt. Es werden einige hinreichende Bedingungen präsentiert unter denen ein Spiel in dieser Klasse einen nicht-leeren Kern hat. Weiterhin werden Zuordnungsregeln für die speziellen Teilklassen der Weber und Minimax Standortspiele vorgeschlagen und es wird untersucht unter welchen Bedingungen die eingeführten Regeln Zuordnungen aus dem Kern wählen.
