Symmetries of Quasi-Values
Abstract
According to Shapley's game-theoretical result, there exists a unique game value of finite cooperative games that satisfies axioms on additivity, efficiency, null-player property and symmetry. The original setting requires symmetry with respect to arbitrary permutations of players. We analyze the consequences of weakening the symmetry axioms and study quasi-values that are symmetric with respect to permutations from a group . We classify all the permutation groups that are large enough to assure a unique -symmetric quasi-value, as well as the structure and dimension of the space of all such quasi-values for a general permutation group . We show how to construct -symmetric quasi-values algorithmically by averaging certain basic quasi-values (marginal operators).
