Abstract

In the field about the intersection of game theory and decision making, it is a hot concern how to obtain stable payoff vectors. In this paper, we first extend the solution of bargaining set in classical cooperative game to multi-choice games with coalition structure. The extended bargaining set is a generalization of the classical bargaining set. Then we give an approach to find a stable payoff vector belonging to the extended bargaining set, based on genetic algorithm. Finally, we give some experiments to find a stable payoff vector by our proposed algorithm and evaluate the finding algorithm.
