Essential stability of $$\alpha $$ α -core

Abstract

Using the existence results in Kajii (J Econ Theory 56:194–205, 1992), we identify a class of n-person noncooperative games containing a dense residual subset of games whose cooperative equilibria are all essential. Moreover, we show that every game in this collection possesses an essential component of the \(\alpha \)-core by proving the connectivity of minimal essential subsets of the \(\alpha \)-core.
