On the solution of w-stable sets

Abstract

The notion of m-stable sets was introduced in Peris and Subiza (2013) for abstract decision problems. Since it may lack internal stability and fail to discriminate alternatives in cyclic circumstances, we alter this notion, which leads to an alternative solution called w-stable set. Subsequently, we characterize w-stable set and compare it with other solutions in the literature. In addition, we propose a selection procedure to filter out more desirable w-stable sets.
