Abstract: We define the new cooperative function and get the extensive partial cooperative game with multi-coalition structure. By backward induction we build the concept of solution in the partial cooperative game and get the corresponding optimal path. The model in this paper overcomes the limitation in the classic game models in which only simple coalition structure can be formed at any node on the game tree.

Key words: multi-coalition, partial cooperative game, cooperative function, backward induction
