On combinatorial optimization games

In this paper, based on the article entitled Cooperative Combinatorial Games written by Imma Curiel which was published in the year 2008 in Pareto Optimality, Game Theory And Equilibria, we study how the players who have formed a coalition would minimize their costs or maximize their pro ts. Cost allocations were also discussed as this arises from the question - how will the pro t or cost of a speci c game be divided among the players who have coordinated. A solution concept, the core, for a cooperative game is partially discussed. Games arising from cooperative combinatorial games are also discussed.
