iskConvexGame: Check if game is k-Convex

Description

iskConvexGame checks if a TU game is k-convex. A TU game is k-convex if and only if its k-cover exists and is convex. See section 7.1 of the book by Driessen for more details

Usage

iskConvexGame(v, k)

Arguments

v

Numeric vector of length 2^n - 1 representing the values of the coalitions of a TU game with n players

k

An integer specifying k
