TheWebersetandtheShapley valuearede?ned forasuitable classofinterval games andtheirrelations withtheinterval coreforconvex interval gamesareestablished. Thenotionofpopulation monotonic interval allocation scheme pmiasin theinterval setting isintroduced anditisproved thateach element oftheWebersetofaconvex interval game is extendable to such a pmias. A square operator is introduced which allows us to obtain interval solutions starting from the corresponding classical cooperative game theory solutions. Itturns out that on the class of convex interval games the square Weberset coincides withtheintervalcore. Copyright q2009S.Z.Alparslan Go¨ketal.
