Coalitional values for cooperative games with \(r\) alternatives (Q1592625)

The paper provides two different approaches to a coalitional value in the framework of the games with \(N\) players and \(r\) alternatives. The first one can be applied when the players in \(N\) choose any alternative in the final arrangement, while the second one can only be applied when the members of each coalition of the coalitional structure choose the same alternative. The obtained values are extensions of the Owen value [\textit{G. Owen}, Lect. Notes Econ. Math. Syst. 141, 76-88 (1977; Zbl 0395.90095)]. For each coalitional value both a relation with the Owen value and an axiomatic characterization are given. Finally, the two coalitional values are compared.
