A Note on the Existence of Nash Equilibrium in Games with Discontinuous
This paper generalises the approach taken by Dasgupta & Maskin (1986) and Simon (1989) and provides necessary and su¢ cient conditions for the existence of pure and mixed strategy Nash equilibrium in games with continuous strategy spaces and discontinuous payo¤ functions. The conditions can be applied widely, and examples for existence of pure strategy and monotonic equilibria in First-Price au...
متن کاملOn equilibrium refinements in supermodular games
We show that supermodular games satisfying sequential better-reply security possess a pure strategy perfect equilibrium and a strategically stable set of pure strategy equilibria. We illustrate that in continuous supermodular games, perfect equilibria may contain weakly dominated actions. Moreover, in discontinuous supermodular games satisfying sequential better-reply security, perfect equilibr...
متن کاملOn the Existence of Nash Equilibrium in Discontinuous Games∗
This paper offers an equilibrium existence theorem in discontinuous games. We introduce a new notion of very weak continuity, called quasi-weak transfer continuity that guarantees the existence of pure strategy Nash equilibrium in compact and quasiconcave games. We also consider possible extensions and improvements of the main result. We present applications to show that our conditions allow fo...
متن کاملThe Existence of Perfect Equilibrium in Discontinuous Games
We prove the existence of a perfect equilibrium within a class of compact, metric, and possibly discontinuous games. Our conditions for existence are easily verified in a variety of economic games.
