            Abstract : 
The Characteristic Function and the Core of a game described by a multistage control system, are studied. It is shown that the concept of Core must be strengthened to provide collective rationality in a multistage game with feedback strategies. A dynamic programming algorithm is proposed to compute the characteristic function of a game described by a linear system.
