Difference between the position value and the myerson value is due to the existence of coalition structures. (English) Zbl 1211.91042

Summary: The study characterizes the position value and the Myerson value for communication situations. Each of these two values is represented by the Shapley value of a modified game obtained from the original communication situation. The difference between the two values comes from the existence of a coalition structure in the modified game.
