Abstract

Albizuri et al. (2006a, 2006b) defined values for games in which the players are organized into an a priori coalition configuration. In games with coalition configuration, we suppose that players organize themselves into coalitions that are not necessarily disjoint. A player can belong to more than one a priori coalition. In this paper we redefine coalition configuration values by using the concept of share function, as introduced by van der Laan and van den Brink (1998). A share function assigns to every player in a game its share in the worth to be distributed. We also define and characterize a general class of share function for games with coalition configuration which contains among other values those introduced by Albizuri et al. (2006a, 2006b).
