Nov 13, 2019 at 19:18 comment added user2925716 I do not follow what if we take $S=\{1\}$ and $x_1=-1000 000 \ , x_2=x_3=500 000$. Then $x(\{1,2,3\})=0$, BUT $E(S,x)$ is virtually unbounded. What is wrong with this objection here?
Nov 12, 2019 at 19:54 comment added user2925716 My guess was that $S=\{1,2\}$. But then the maximum is at $x=0$. Is there a better $S$ ?
Nov 11, 2019 at 20:48 comment added Eilon In the prenucleolus, symmetric players obtain the same payoff, hence the prenucleolus has the form (x,x,-2x) for some real number x. One can draw (on the same graph) the excess function E(S,x) = v(S) - x(S), for every nonempty coalition S. Do it. Find the point x where the maximum of these 7 functions is maximal. You will find that the maximum is attained at x=1/4, and the maximum is 1/2. Therefore the nucleolus is (1/4,1/4,-1/2).
