Abstract

Various least core concepts including the classical least core of cooperative games are discussed. By a reduction from minimum cover problems, we prove that computing an element in these least cores is in general $NP$-hard for minimum cost spanning tree games. As a consequence, computing the nucleolus, the nucleon and the per-capita nucleolus of minimum cost spanning tree games is also $NP$-hard.
