imputation (in the theory of games)

A distribution of the overall gain of all players in a cooperative game which satisfies the rationality condition. Formally, if for a game with a set J={1,,n} of players a characteristic function v(J) is defined, a sharing is a vector x=(x1,,xn), with xi representing the share allocated to player i, such that i=1nxi=v(J) and xiv({i}), i=1,,n.
