Constrained equal benefits rule
Description
CEBrule
calculates the contribution vector selected by the CEB rule.
Usage
CEBrule(c)
Arguments
c |
A numeric cost vector. |
Details
For each c\in C^N
and each i\in N
, the constrained equal benefits rule is defined by
\text{CEB}_i(c)=\text{max}\{c_i-\beta,\ 0\}
where \beta>0
is chosen so that \sum\limits^n_{i=1}\text{CEB}_i(c)=c_n
.
This rule focuses on the benefits each agent receives from not having to fully cover their own needs, aiming to distribute them as equitably as possible, without any agent subsidizing another.
The contribution selected by the CEB rule for a problem c \in C^N
coincides with the payoff vector assigned
by the modified nucleolus.
Value
A numeric contribution vector, where each element represents the payment of the different agents.
