The Bondareva–Shapley theorem is a result in cooperative game theory that provides a characterization of the core of cooperative games. This theorem effectively gives conditions under which the core of a cooperative game is non-empty. Specifically, the theorem states that a cooperative game has a non-empty core if and only if the game is balanced.
