Abstract

This study explores the topic of N-person cooperative game theory. The following paper begins with an introduction to the basic definitions and the- orems of game theory. These definitions and theorems are then used to in- troduce various solution methods and methods of coalition formation. These results are then applied to the airport game, to the supplier-firm-buyer game, and to evolutionary games.
