Notation

What does $\langle \;\rangle$ mean in this context? And is ${\mathcal {P}}$ the power set? What is $\nu$ ? Crasshopper (talk) 17:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have modified the notation slightly, please let me know if this still does not help. The answers in brief:

\langle \;\rangle

here indicates merely a pair/couple. I would normally use plain parentheses, but the present formulation is not confusing.

{\mathcal {P}}

is indeed the power set, I have made this explicit with the new notation. Finally

\nu

should simply be

v

Shouldn't we make it clear that this theorem only applies to cooperative games with transferable utility and side payments? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.135.210.83 (talk) 22:16, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
