This paper proposes a new algorithm to generate a minimal search space of the problem of coalition structure generation using a new optimal integer partition. The new partition includes only partitions giving optimal coalition structures. These partitions are those containing 1 at most one element. Our new algorithm generates optimal partition structures in two steps. The first step, we use a modified...
