An extension to the classical notion of core is the notion of $k$-additive core, that is, the set of $k$-additive games which dominate a given game, where a $k$-additive game has its Möbius transform (or Harsanyi dividends) vanishing for subsets of more than $k$ elements. Therefore, the...

An element of the possibly unbounded core of a cooperative game with precedence constraints belongs to its bounded core if any transfer to a player from any of her subordinates results in payoffs outside the core. The bounded core is the union of all bounded faces of the core, it is nonempty if...

We generalize the characterizations of the positive core and the positive prekernel to TU games with precedence constraints and show that the positive core is characterized by non-emptiness (NE), boundedness (BOUND), covariance under strategic equivalence, closedness (CLOS), the reduced game...

We generalize a two-action (yes-no) model of influence to a framework in which every player has a continuum of actions, among which he has to choose one. We assume the set of actions to be an interval. Each player has an inclination to choose one of the actions. Due to influence among players,...

We consider the interval $]{-1},1[$ and intend to endow it with an algebraic structure like a ring. The motivation lies in decision making, where scales that are symmetric w.r.t.~$0$ are needed in order to represent a kind of symmetry in the behaviour of the decision maker. A former proposal due...

Après une introduction générale à la problématique de la décision multicritère,nous présentons brièvement les deux approches principales (méthodes desurclassement, et approche de l'utilité multi-attributs). Nous nous focalisonsensuite sur l'approche de l'utilité multi-attributs, que...

This paper addresses the question of which models fit with information concerning the preferences of the decision maker over each attribute, and his preferences about aggregation of criteria (interacting criteria). We show that the conditions induced by these information plus some intuitive...

This chapter aims at a unified presentation of various methods of MCDA based onfuzzy measures (capacity) and fuzzy integrals, essentially the Choquet andSugeno integral. A first section sets the position of the problem ofmulticriteria decision making, and describes the various possible scales...

In this paper we propose a generalization of the concept of symmetric fuzzy measure based in a decomposition of the universal set in what we have called subsets of indifference. Some properties of these measures are studied, as well as their Choquet integral. Finally, a degree of interaction...
