Game theory has become more and more useful in making various decisions of a company. A company need formulate the strategy it should take when facing numerous competitors. The study aims to investigate the general compatibility of single-valued solutions of core selection and aggregate monotonicity. A transferable utility cooperative game ensures that the different outcomes can be improved by a set and coalition of players. Aggregate monotonicity implies that when the grand coalition becomes more and more profitable, the other qualities should have an increased payoff (Calleja 6). Core selection and aggregate monotonicity work hand in hand to produce a set of desired results.
A transferable utility corporative game is denoted by (N,v); whereby N is the set of players and v is a function. The single-valued solution is denoted by F: GN RN. The equation, therefore, implies that F(v) ) ∈ I ∗(v) for all v ∈ GN. The Shapely value and per nucleolus games are the most accepted solutions of the single-value. The shapely value is therefore defined as
I ∗ (v) = x ∈ RN: x (N) = v (N)
An arbitrary game is denoted by (Nave). The sty of balanced games is gotten from v by decreasing or increasing the general worth of the general coalition. The following variables represent the information above.
BN v = {v ∈ BN: v (S) = v(S) for all S ⊂ N}
BNv represents the set of balance games
In all the v ∈ GN, BN v is a subset that is non-empty for BN.
(N,vr) Represents the root game that is from the game. The smallest game in the BN v is the (N,v). It is rooted if v is equal to vr. For any single-valued solution, GN core should always pick a specific allocation from the core of any of the rooted games. A game, v can be represented regarding its root game. The unanimity game, uN that is associated with the grand coalition is demonstrated by the following equation and variables (Herve 63).
If uN (N) = 1 and uN (S) = 0, , v = vr + (v(N) − vr(N)).v(N) –vr(N) need not attain a positive value.
Therefore, v(N) ≥ vr(N) and C(v) = ∅, but if v(N) i∈N v({i}) and then xvr = xv I ,because xvr ∈ C(vr) then xvr ≥ xv I .
But if vr(N) = i∈N v({i}), vr(N) = i∈N v({i})is a constant. Then we attain C(vr) = {(v({1}), v({2}), , v({n}))}, which is the same as xvr = xv I.
There are significant consequences that occur from the above equation. If the arbitrary game v is considered with a given set of potential dummies (Barough, Shoubi & Skardi 1586-1593). Therefore, P D decreases or increases the potential worth of the grand coalition during a specific time frame. Therefore, i∈P D(v) v({i}) + v(N\P D(v)), and all the things that are defined as potential dummies will result in becoming real dummies.
We get the following equation from the above conclusions
P D(v) = P D(vr) and v(S) = vr(S) for all S ⊂ N, therefore, for a given rooted game w ∈ GN root , is demonstrated by sD = ⎛ ⎝ i∈P D(w) w({i}) + w(N\P D(w)) ⎞ ⎠ − w(N).
