A parametric worst-case approach to fairness in cooperative games with transferable utility

Gabriel Istrate, Cosmin Bonchis

Abstract: Highlights•We study worst-case fairness in resource allocation and cooperative games with transferable utility.•We consider the imputation in the core with the largest divergence with a fixed imputation, a ”standard of fairness”.•We study the problem for several classes of cooperative games with transferable utility.•In cases when worst-case fairness is intractable we give algorithms that produce an approximately worst-case fair imputation.
