Abstract
We generalized the Banzhaf value in multialternative games defined by Bolger. We developed a new vallue, called a Banzhaf-like value, based on the axioms similar to those of the Bolger value. Like the derivation of the Banzhaf value, we modified one of the axioms of Bolger. We also applied Owen’s multilinear extension to the multialternative games to show that this application gives a Banzhaf-like value as well.
