isinthecore: Isinthecore (core allocations)

In GameTheoryAllocation: Tools for Calculating Allocations in Game Theory

Description

This function checks if the allocation belongs to the core of the TU game.

Usage

isinthecore(characteristic_function, allocation, game = c("profit", "cost"))

Arguments

characteristic_function	A vector with the characteristic function v(S) (or c(S), if we work with a cost game), according to the order of coalitions shown in coalitions function.
allocation	A vector with the allocation where each component indicates the part of each agent.
game	Characters to indicate if the game is a cost or profit game. The possibles values are "cost" or "profit".
