Exploiting Concavity in Bimatrix Games: New Polynomially Tractable Subclasses
We study the fundamental problem of computing an arbitrary Nash equilibrium in bimatrix games. We start by proposing a novel characterization of the set of Nash equilibria, via a bijective map to the solution set of a (parameterized) quadratic program, whose feasible space is the (highly structured) set of correlated equilibria. We then proceed by proposing new subclasses of bimatrix games for ...
متن کاملAn Algebraic Geometry Approach to Compute Strategically Equivalent Bimatrix Games
In this paper, a class of bimatrix games having the same Nash equilibria of a given game, either in pure or in mixed policies, is characterized. Such a goal is reached by computing the set of all the polynomials that are monotone strictly increasing in a given interval and by borrowing techniques from algebraic geometry to find solutions to a set of polynomial equalities.
متن کاملA TRANSITION FROM TWO-PERSON ZERO-SUM GAMES TO COOPERATIVE GAMES WITH FUZZY PAYOFFS
In this paper, we deal with games with fuzzy payoffs. We proved that players who are playing a zero-sum game with fuzzy payoffs against Nature are able to increase their joint payoff, and hence their individual payoffs by cooperating. It is shown that, a cooperative game with the fuzzy characteristic function can be constructed via the optimal game values of the zero-sum games with fuzzy payoff...
متن کاملSparse binary zero-sum games
Solving zero-sum matrix games is polynomial, because it boils down to linear programming. The approximate solving is sublinear by randomized algorithms on machines with random access memory. Algorithms working separately and independently on columns and rows have been proposed, with the same performance; these versions are compliant with matrix games with stochastic reward. (Flory and Teytaud, ...
متن کاملZero-sum games with charges
We consider two-player zero-sum games with countably infinite action spaces and bounded payoff functions. The players’ strategies are finitely additive probability measures, called charges. Since a strategy profile does not always induce a unique expected payoff, we distinguish two extreme attitudes of players. A player is viewed as pessimistic if he always evaluates the range of possible expec...
