Abstract: We introduce a solution concept for games in normal form with undetermined parameters, coalitionalZP-equilibrium, based on the notions ofZ-equilibrium of [Zhukovskii and Chikrii [1994] Linear quadratic differential games, Kiev, Naoukova Doumka] andZS-equilibrium of [Larbani and Lebbah [1999] A concept of equilibrium for a game under uncertainity.Europ. J. Oper. Res.117, 145–156]. For each coalition structure,ZP-equilibrium ensures both the stability of the partition and equilibrium of coalitional strategies (in Pareto sense). We show that under some quasiconcavity conditions on payoff functions, the coalitionalZP-equilibrium exists in compact, convex and continuous normal form games involving undetermined parameters.
