Abstract

We prove the convexity and compactness of the closure of the lower partition range of an ℝn-valued, nonatomic, supermodular capacity, employing a useful relationship between convex games and their Choquet integrals. The main result is applied to fair division problems, and the existence of Pareto optimal α-fair partitions is demonstrated for the case of nonadditive measures.
