Abstract

The paper studies the structure of external angles of the core of convex TU games. It is shown that the external angle at a vertex of the core is proportional to the number of marginal worth vectors defining the vertex. A notion of difference of two convex compact sets is used to define the Weber set of a TU game and to give another proof of the Weber theorem.
