Although the pre-kernel solution possesses an appealing axiomatic foundation that lets one consider this solution concept as a standard of fairness, the pre-kernel and its related solutions are regarded as obscure and too technically complex to be treated as a real alternative to the Shapley value. Comprehensible and efficient computability is widely regarded as a desirable feature to qualify a solution concept apart from its axiomatic foundation as a standard of fairness. We review and then improve an approach to compute the pre-kernel of a cooperative game by the indirect function. The indirect function is known as the Fenchel-Moreau conjugation of the characteristic function. Extending the approach with the indirect function, we are able to characterize the pre-kernel of the grand coalition simply by the solution sets of a family of quadratic objective functions. 000695915 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 28, 2013). 000695915 650_0 $$aGame theory. 000695915 650_0 $$aKernel functions. 000695915 830_0 $$aTheory and decision library.$$nSeries C,$$pGame theory, mathematical programming, and operations research ;$$vv.45.$$x0924-6126 000695915 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000695915 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-39549-9$$zOnline Access 000695915 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:695915$$pGLOBAL_SET 000695915 980__ $$aEBOOK 000695915 980__ $$aBIB 000695915 982__ $$aEbook 000695915 983__ $$aOnline 000695915 994__ $$a92$$bISE
