Noisy Stochastic Games

چکیده
This paper establishes existence of a stationary Markov perfect equilibrium in general stochastic games with noise — a component of the state that is nonatomically distributed and not directly affected by the previous period’s state and actions. Noise may be simply a payoff-irrelevant public randomization device, delivering known results on existence of correlated equilibrium as a special case. More generally, noise can take the form of shocks that enter into players’ stage payoffs and the transition probability on states. The existence result is applied to a model of industry dynamics and to a model of dynamic electoral competition.

Stationary Markov perfect equilibria in discounted stochastic games
The existence of stationary Markov perfect equilibria in stochastic games is shown under a general condition called “(decomposable) coarser transition kernels”. This result covers various earlier existence results on correlated equilibria, noisy stochastic games, stochastic games with finite actions and stateindependent transitions, and stochastic games with mixtures of constant transition kern...
متن کاملStochastic Differential Games and Intricacy of Information Structures
This paper discusses, in both continuous time and discrete time, the issue of certainty equivalence in two-player zero-sum stochastic differential/dynamic games when the players have access to state information through a common noisy measurement channel. For the discrete-time case, the channel is also allowed to fail sporadically according to an independent Bernoulli process, leading to intermi...
متن کاملNoisy mean field stochastic games with network applications
We consider a class of stochastic games with finite number of resource states, individual states and actions per states. At each stage, a random set of players interact. The states and the actions of all the interacting players determine together the instantaneous payoffs and the transitions to the next states. We study the convergence of the stochastic game with variable set of interacting pla...
متن کاملWCGT 2013 – The 2 nd Midwest Workshop on Control and Game
In spite of decades long past research activity on stochastic differential games, there still remain some outstanding fundamental questions on existence, uniqueness, and characterization of non-cooperative equilibria when players have access to noisy state information. This talk will identify these questions, along with the underlying challenges, and address a number of them within specific con...
متن کاملStochastic nonlinear minimax dynamic games with noisy measurements
This note is concerned with nonlinear stochastic minimax dynamic games which are subject to noisy measurements. The minimizing players are control inputs while the maximizing players are square-integrable stochastic processes. The minimax dynamic game is formulated using an information state, which depends on the paths of the observed processes. The information state satisfies a partial differe...
