Abstract

For the class of minimum coloring games (introduced by Deng et al. Math Oper Res, 24:751–766, 1999) we investigate the existence of population monotonic allocation schemes (introduced by Sprumont Games Econ Behav 2:378–394, 1990). We show that a minimum coloring game on a graph G has a population monotonic allocation scheme if and only if G is (P4,2K2) -free (or, equivalently, if its complement graph G‾ is quasi-threshold). Moreover, we provide a procedure that for these graphs always selects an integer population monotonic allocation scheme.
