Bayesian games with a continuum of states

چکیده
We show that every Bayesian game with purely atomic types has a measurable Bayesian equilibrium when the common knowledge relation is smooth. Conversely, for any common knowledge relation that is not smooth, there exists a type space that yields this common knowledge relation and payoffs such that the resulting Bayesian game will not have any Bayesian equilibrium. We show that our smoothness condition also rules out two paradoxes involving Bayesian games with a continuum of types: the impossibility of having a common prior on components when a common prior over the entire state space exists, and the possibility of interim betting/trade even when no such trade can be supported ex ante.

Robust Opponent Modeling in Real-Time Strategy Games using Bayesian Networks
Opponent modeling is a key challenge in Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games as the environment is adversarial in these games, and the player cannot predict the future actions of her opponent. Additionally, the environment is partially observable due to the fog of war. In this paper, we propose an opponent model which is robust to the observation noise existing due to the fog of war. In order to cope...
متن کاملA game with no Bayesian approximate equilibria
Simon (2003) presented an example of a 3-player Bayesian game with no Bayesian equilibria, leaving open the question of whether or not there are games with no Bayesian approximate equilibria. We present an example of a Bayesian game with two players, two actions and a continuum of states that possesses no Bayesian approximate equilibria, thus resolving the question. As a side benefit we also ha...
متن کاملA Behavior Model for Large Repeated Games with Uncertain Fundamentals
This paper presents a behavior model of large repeated Bayesian games with an unknown number of players n, correlated types and imperfect monitoring. Each of the n players behaves as if she is negligible in a continuum game, but the game theorist performs a complete Bayesian analysis of what happens with such n players in the real repeated interaction. In addition to performing correct analysis...
متن کاملDynamic system of strategic games
Maybe an event can't be modeled completely through one game but there is more chance with several games. With emphasis on players' rationality, we present new properties of strategic games, which result in production of other games. Here, a new attitude to modeling will be presented in game theory as dynamic system of strategic games and its some applications such as analysis of the clash betwe...
متن کاملRelationship between Designing Computer-based Educational Games, and Learning Motivation among Elementary Students
Background: Motivation is an important factor in learning. Educational games increase the learning motivation and understanding of students by creating a sense of joy, satisfaction and involvement. However, it is necessary to incorporate learning elements into the games, differently. In this study, the researcher tried to provide a model for designing educational games and determining its relat...
