چکیده
Zero-sum stochastic games, henceforth are a classical model in game theory which two opponents interact and the environment changes response to players’ behavior. The central solution concepts for these games discounted values value, represent what playing is worth players different levels of impatience. In present manuscript, we provide algorithms computing exact expressions polynomial number pure stationary strategies players. This result considerably improves all existing algorithms.

A lower bound for discounting algorithms solving two-person zero-sum limit average payoff stochastic games
It is shown that the discount factor needed to solve an undiscounted mean payoff stochastic game to optimality is exponentially close to 1, even in games with a single random node and polynomially bounded rewards and transition probabilities.
متن کاملNew Algorithms for Solving Simple Stochastic Games
We present new algorithms for determining optimal strategies for two-player games with probabilistic moves and reachability winning conditions. Such games, known as simple stochastic games, were extensively studied by A.Condon [2,3]. Many interesting problems, including parity games and hence also mu-calculus model checking, can be reduced to simple stochastic games. It is an open problem, whet...
متن کاملDefinable Zero-Sum Stochastic Games
Definable zero-sum stochastic games involve a finite number of states and action sets, reward and transition functions that are definable in an o-minimal structure. Prominent examples of such games are finite, semi-algebraic or globally subanalytic stochastic games. We prove that the Shapley operator of any definable stochastic game with separable transition and reward functions is definable in...
متن کاملA policy-improvement type algorithm for solving zero-sum two-person stochastic games of perfect information
We give a policy-improvement type algorithm to locate an optimal pure stationary strategy for discounted stochastic games with perfect information. A graph theoretic motivation for our algorithm is presented as well.
متن کاملExact Algorithms for Solving Stochastic Games
Shapley’s discounted stochastic games, Everett’s recursive games and Gillette’s undiscounted stochastic games are classical models of game theory describing two-player zero-sum games of potentially infinite duration. We describe algorithms for exactly solving these games. When the number of positions of the game is constant, our algorithms run in polynomial time.
