In this paper we focus on multinomial probabilistic values and we consider two special classes of players: necessary and nullifying players. By introducing new properties related to this kind of players, we provide new axiomatic characterizations of each multinomial probabilistic value, giving, in all cases, a set of independent properties that univocally determine them. Moreover, when the profile defining the value is positive, the multilinear extension is interpreted as a potential function and provides a computational tool.

This work focuses on the Owen value and the Owen-Banzhaf value, two classical concepts of solution defined on games with structure of coalition blocks. We provide a computation procedure for these solutions based on a method of double-level work obtained from the multilinear extension of the original game. Moreover, two applications to several possible political situations in the Madrid Assembly and the Andalusian Parliament (legislatures 2015-2019) are also given.

We say that two situations described by cooperative games are inseparable by a family of solutions, when they obtain the same allocation by all solution concept of this family. The situation of separability by a family of linear solutions reduces to separability from the null game. This is the case of the family of solutions based on marginal contributions weighted by coef¿cients only dependent of the coalition size: the semivalues. It is known that for games with four or more players, the spaces of inseparable games from the null game contain games different to zero-game. We will prove that for ¿ve or more players, when a priori coalition blocks are introduced in the situation described by the game, the dimension of the vector spaces of inseparable games from the null game decreases in an important manner.

In this paper we focus on games with a coalition structure. Particularly, we deal with the Owen value, the coalitional value of the Shapley value, and we provide a computational procedure to calculate this coalitional value in terms of the multilinear extension of the original game.
