Abstract

In the field about multi-agent system, the payoff rationality is an important factor for the forming of a multi-agent coalition structure. In this paper, we regard a payoff vector belonging to the bargaining set in classical cooperative game as a stable payoff vector of multi-agents. Then, we propose an approach to find the stable payoff vector based on genetic algorithm. Finally, the experimental results and analysis are showed about success rates and running times of our proposed approach.
