Shapley Axioms

The Shapley-value characterization uses four axioms for a single-valued solution concept $\varphi$ assigning each game a payoff vector:

  • Efficiency: $\sum_{i \in N} \varphi_i(v)=v(N)$.
  • Symmetry: symmetric players receive equal payoffs.
  • Null player: a player who never changes any coalition's worth receives payoff zero.
  • Additivity: $\varphi(v+w)=\varphi(v)+\varphi(w)$.

Lean also defines the supporting predicates for symmetric players and null players. These are the hypotheses of Shapley's uniqueness theorem ([[game_theory.cooperative_game.shapley_uniqueness]]).
