On Equilibria in Duopolies with Finite Strategy Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
We will call a game a reachable (pure strategy) equilibria game if starting from any strategy by any player, by a sequence of best-response moves we are able to reach a (pure strategy) equilibrium. We give a characterization of all ̄nite strategy space duopolies with reachable equilibria. We describe some applications of the su±cient conditions of the characterization. ¤Kalyan Talluri, Department of Economics and Business, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Ramon Trias Fargas 25-27, 08005 Barcelona, Spain, email: [email protected]

Existence of Equilibria in Games with Arbitrary Strategy Spaces and Preferences∗
This paper considers the existence of Nash equilibria in games with any number of players that may be finite, infinite, or even uncountable; arbitrary strategy spaces that may be discrete, continuum, non-compact or non-convex; payoffs (resp. preferences) that may be discontinuous or do not have any form of quasi-concavity (resp. nontotal, nontransitive, discontinuous, nonconvex, or nonmonotonic...
متن کاملNearly compact and continuous normal form games: characterizations and equilibrium existence
Normal form games are nearly compact and continuous (NCC) if they can be understood as games played on strategy spaces that are dense subsets of the strategy spaces of larger compact games with jointly continuous payoffs. There are intrinsic algebraic, measure theoretic, functional analysis, and finite approximability characterizations of NCC games. NCC games have finitely additive equilibria, ...
متن کاملExistence of Nash Equilibria in Games with Arbitrary Strategy Spaces and Preferences: A Full Characterization∗
This paper provides a complete solution to the existence of equilibria in games with any number of players that may be finite, infinite, or even uncountable; arbitrary strategy spaces that may be discrete, continuum, non-compact or non-convex; payoffs (resp. preferences) that may be discontinuous or do not have any form of quasi-concavity (resp. nontotal, nontransitive, discontinuous, nonconvex...
متن کاملCharacterization and Computation of Equilibria in Infinite Games
Broadly, we study continuous games (those with continuous strategy spaces and utility functions) with a view towards computation of equilibria. We cover all of the gametheoretic background needed to understand these results in detail. Then we present new work, which can be divided into three parts. First, it is known that arbitrary continuous games may have arbitrarily complicated equilibria, s...
متن کاملAlmost Stationary (-Equilibria in Zero-Sum Stochastic Games
We show the existence of almost stationary (-equilibria, for all (H0, in zero-sum stochastic games with finite state and action spaces. These are (-equilibria with the property that, if neither player deviates, then stationary strategies are played forever with probability almost 1. The proof is based on the construction of specific stationary strategy pairs, with corresponding rewards equal to...
