Abstract
This paper investigates the existence of coalitional equilibria for coalitional abstract economies with nonordered preferences. Accordingly, the authors give a fuzzy extension of the coalitional equilibrium existence theorem. The main result is illustrated with applications to coalitional abstract economies with payoff functions, strong Nash equilibria and absolute optimal solutions.
