Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we introduce the notion of a cooperative game with multiple attributes where players can provide partial participations in multiple attributes and form coalitions. The power or influence of the players due to their multiple attributes is evaluated based on their memberships in the coalitions. Our game therefore, extends the notion of cooperative games with fuzzy coalitions. The Shapley function for this class of games is proposed as a rational and fair solution concept. Every fuzzy game stems out of a specific crisp game under the assumption that the players provide partial memberships in forming multiple coalitions simultaneously. We adopt similar techniques to obtain the cooperative games with multiple attributes from their crisp counterparts and subsequently determine their Shapley functions.
