Abstract

The Problem of solution theory of cooperative n-person games with side payments is either : how to divide a common product or : how to allocate a common cost among n active players. In fact both problems may be combined into one (Straffin and Heaney, 1981). Various answers have been given to this question. For a survey of solution theories see Shubik (1982).
