Reference request-One-shot deviation principle

37 Views Asked by At

I'm writing the presentation for a seminar on the theory of coalition formation, following the approach of a 1999 article by Ray Debraj and Rajiv Vohra. I noticed that the authors implicitly use several times in proofs (without stating it outright) a special form of something that (after a bit of searching on google) I found is called the "one-shot deviation principle". I'd like a reference for the general idea of this principle to include it in the presentation. Any standard text would do.
