Cooperative Games, Finite Geometries and Hyperstructures

Antonio Maturo

Abstract


In this paper some relations between finite geometric spaces and cooperative games are considered. In particular by some recent results on blocking sets we have new results on blocking coalitions. Finally we introduce a new research field on the possible relations between quasihypergroups and cooperative games.
