The split core is a refinement of the core for sequencing games. The s
plit core arises from a generalization of the equal gain splitting (EG
S) rule that is introduced by Curiel et al. (1989). It is pointed out
that the split core is the convex hull of permutation-based gain split
ting allocations and the EGS allocation is in the barycenter of the sp
lit core. Finally, an axiomatic characterization of the split core is
provided. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
