Summary
The paper studies the classSC N of cooperative games with player setN which have the semiconvexity property.SC N is decomposed into an algebraic sum of convex cones of games for which generating sets are available. The union of these sets thus forms a generating set forSC N. Special attention is paid to one of the considered cones, in the decomposition ofSC N. In particular, the so called airport savings gamesW y, ℝN, defined byw y (S)=Σ jεS Y i −max jεS Y j for 0 ≠S⋞N, are emphasized.
Zusammenfassung
In dieser Arbeit wird die KlasseSC N von kooperativen Spielen mit SpielermengeN, welche die Semikonvexität-Eigenschaft besizt, untersucht.SC N wird in die algebraische summe von konvexen Kegeln von Spielen zerlegt für welche erzeugende Mengen verfügbar sind. Die Vereinigung dieser Mengen bildet dann eine erzeugende Menge fürSC N. Einem der betrachteten Kegel der Zerlegung wird besondere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Es werden speziell die sog. “Airport savings” Spielew y, ℝN welche durchw y (S)=Σ jεS Y i −max jεS Y j für 0 ≠S⋞N definiert sindm betrachtet,
