Abstract: This paper investigates the non-emptiness of the fuzzy core and introduces the notion of the TU-fuzzy core for pure exchange economies with discontinuous utility functions. We propose two stability conditions: local fuzzy-coalition stability and local TU-fuzzy-coalition stability. We also introduce an independent-$\pi$-balanced family of subsets of the agent set to construct two payoff-dependent NTU games. These constructions serve as bridges linking the fuzzy core, the TU-fuzzy core, and NTU games. Under the proposed stability conditions, we establish the non-emptiness of the fuzzy core for economies with quasi-concave utility functions and the non-emptiness of the TU-fuzzy core for economies with concave utility functions.
