The article explores a solution concept called Gately values for cooperative games. Gately's idea aims to find a fair way for players to share their collective earnings while minimizing conflicts during negotiations. The researchers show that Gately values work well for many types of games and are particularly useful for 3-player games. They also find that Gately values can be considered fair allocations for various cooperative games. Additionally, the researchers compare Gately values to another solution concept called the Shapley value.
