Abstract

In this article, we generalize the position value, defined by Meessen (Master’s thesis, 1988 ) for the class of deterministic communication situations, to the class of generalized probabilistic communication situations (Gómez et al. in European Journal of Operational Research 190:539–556, 2008 ). We provide two characterizations of this new allocation rule. Following in Slikker’s (International Journal of Game Theory 33:505–514, 2005a ) footsteps, we characterize the probabilistic position value using probabilistic versions of component efficiency and balanced link contributions. Then we generalize the notion of link potential, defined by Slikker (International Game Theory Review 7:473–489, 2005b ) for the class of deterministic communication situations, to the class of generalized probabilistic communication situations, and use it to characterize our allocation rule.
