متن کاملRanking games
The outcomes of many strategic situations such as parlor games or competitive economic scenarios are rankings of the participants, with higher ranks generally at least as desirable as lower ranks. Here we define ranking games as a class of n-player normal-form games with a payoff structure reflecting the players’ von Neumann-Morgenstern preferences over their individual ranks. We investigate th...
متن کاملRanking Automata and Games for Prioritized Requirements
Requirements of reactive systems are usually specified by classifying system executions as desirable and undesirable. To specify prioritized requirements, we propose to associate a rank with each execution. This leads to optimization analogs of verification and synthesis problems in which we compute the "best" requirement that can be satisfied or enforced from a given state. The classical defin...
متن کاملRanking Games and Gambling: When to Quit When You're Ahead
It is common for rewards to be given on the basis of a rank ordering, so that relative performance amongst a cohort is the criterion. In this paper we formulate an equilibrium model in which an agent makes successive decisions on whether or not to gamble and is rewarded on the basis of a rank ordering of final wealth. This is a model of the behaviour of mutual fund managers who are paid dependi...
متن کاملDicots, and a taxonomic ranking for misère games
We study combinatorial games in misère version. In a general context, little can be said about misère games. For this reason, several universes were earlier considered for their study, which can be ranked according to their inclusion ordering. We study in particular a special universe of games called dicots, which turns out to be the known universe of lowest rank modulo which equivalence in mis...
