The least square nucleolus is a normalized Banzhaf value

In this note we study a truncated additive normalization of the Banzhaf value. We are able to show that it corresponds to the least square nucleolus (LS-nucleolus), which was originally introduced as the solution of a constrained optimization problem [4]. Thus, the main result provides an explicit expression that eases the computation and contributes to the understanding of the LS-nucleolus. Lastly, the result is extended to the broader family of individually rational least square values [6].
