Imputation

An imputation is a payoff vector that distributes all worth of the grand coalition and gives every player at least their singleton worth.

For a TU game $(N,v)$, a payoff vector $x : N \to \mathbb{R}$ is an imputation when: $$ \sum_{i \in N} x_i = v(N) $$ and, for every player $i \in N$, $$ x_i \ge v(\{i\}). $$

The first condition is efficiency; the second is individual rationality.

Lean Status

Lean separates the two predicates as CoalitionalGame.IsEfficient and CoalitionalGame.IsIndividuallyRational, then combines them in CoalitionalGame.IsImputation.
