Abstract

We consider a restricted game on weighted graphs associated with minimum partitions. We replace in the classical definition of Myerson restricted game the connected components of any subgraph by the sub-components obtained with a specific partition P~min\tilde{\mathcal{P}}_{\min}. This partition relies on the same principle as the partition Pmin\mathcal{P}_{\min} introduced by Grabisch and Skoda (2012) but restricted to connected coalitions. More precisely, this new partition P~min\tilde{\mathcal{P}}_{\min} is induced by the deletion of the minimum weight edges in each connected component associated with a coalition. We provide a characterization of the graphs satisfying inheritance of convexity from the underlying game to the restricted game associated with P~min\tilde{\mathcal{P}}_{\min}.
