摘要
We introduce the concept of a characterization set for the nucleolus of a cooperative game and develop sufficient conditions for a collection of coalitions to form a characterization set thereof. Further, we formalize Kopelowitz's method for computing the nucleolus through the notion of a sequential LP process, and derive a general relationship between the size of a characterization set and the complexity of computing the nucleolus.
