Springer Partition Function Form Games - Theory and Decision Library

Explore the complex world of cooperative game theory with this specialized text from Springer. Partition function form games provide a systematic overview of a game form designed to integrate externalities into mathematical models. While standard approaches in cooperative game theory often overlook the side effects of cooperation, this book addresses the growing need for richer models that account for these impacts. This volume is particularly relevant for researchers and students studying market competition or the shared use of public resources. By explicitly evaluating the side-effects of cooperation, the text provides the necessary tools to understand problems where externalities play a central role. Whether you are analyzing economic competition or resource management, this book offers a deep dive into the models required for modern applications in decision theory.
