Outline of Final Research Achievements	This project studies how to distribute the surplus generated by cooperation among multiple agents. A typical example of such kind of problems is that distribution of cost of forming/maintaining networks among multiple users like minimum cost spanning tree problems. Following an axiomatic approach, especially focusing on efficiency, which requires that the surplus is fully allocated among agents, and fairness, which requires that no agent is dissatisfied with allocations, an auction rule and a solution for transferable utility coalitional games are axiomatically characterized.
