Abstract

It is well-known that the payoffs of the various bargaining sets of a cooperativen-person game are finite unions of closed convex polyhedra. In this paper, the system of inequalities that determines these polyhedra for the bargaining setM (i)1 is expressed in explicit form.

It turns out that this system also expresses the condition that certain games, derived from the original game and from the potential payoffs, have full-dimensional cores.
