Sharing profits in formal fuzzy contexts

Abstract

Cooperative game theory is concerned with situations where a group of agents coordinate their actions to get a common benefit. An allocation rule for these situations is a way to share the common benefit among the agents. The search for a fair allocation rule may depend on the information one has about these agents. A formal context represents information about certain attributes of a set of objects in a table, and they have been used in the literature to describe information about the agents in a game. More recently, formal contexts are extended to the fuzzy setting. Now in this paper we establish a methodology to share the profits of a group of agents that have some information about them collected in a fuzzy formal context when those benefits depend on a set of attributes. © 2022 The Authors
