Abstract:Let (N,v) be a cooperative game and (N,L) a graph. Consider the communication situation (N,v,L). The known allocation rules are obtained by defining new characteristic functions and their Shapley values. To avoid the distortion from defining new characteristic functions, we propose a new allocation rule. Let Sh(N,v)=(s1,s2,…,sn) be the Shapley value for the original game (N,v), in which si can be viewed as the personal ability of the player i. Similar to Google search, we define PageRank for the graph (N,L) associated with a matrix of cooperative coefficients, denoted by (r1,r2,…,rn), where ri signifies the importance of the player i in communication graph (N,L). Then we define an allocation rule, called Page-Shapley value, as follows. Let (N,L) be a connected graph. In Page-Shapley value, the share of the player i is cNrisiv(N), where cN=1/∑j∈Nrjsj to ensure the component efficiency, and v(N) can be replaced by the real worth of N in the game restricted by L.
