PRALINE: A Tool for Computing Nash Equilibria in Concurrent Games
نویسنده
چکیده
We present PRALINE, which is the first tool to compute Nash equilibria in games played over graphs. We consider concurrent games: at each step, players choose their actions independently. There can be an arbitrary number of players. The preferences of the players are given by payoff functions that map states to integers, the goal for a player is then to maximize the limit superior of her payoff; this can be seen as a generalization of Büchi objectives. PRALINE looks for pure Nash equilibria in these games. It can construct the strategies of the equilibrium and users can play against it to test the equilibrium. We give the idea behind its implementation and present examples of its practical use.

Nash Equilibria for Reachability Objectives in Multi-player Timed Games
We propose a procedure for computing Nash equilibria in multi-player timed games with reachability objectives. Our procedure is based on the construction of a finite concurrent game, and on a generic characterization of Nash equilibria in (possibly infinite) concurrent games. Along the way, we use our characterization to compute Nash equilibria in finite concurrent games.
متن کاملPure Nash Equilibria in Concurrent Deterministic Games
We study pure-strategy Nash equilibria in multi-player concurrent deterministic games, for a variety of preference relations. We provide a novel construction, called the suspect game, which transforms a multi-player concurrent game into a two-player turnbased game which turns Nash equilibria into winning strategies (for some objective that depends on the preference relations of the players in t...
متن کاملA Tool for the Automated Verification of Nash Equilibria in Concurrent Games
Reactive Modules is a high-level specification language for concurrent and multi-agent systems, used in a number of practical model checking tools. Reactive Modules Games is a game-theoretic extension of Reactive Modules, in which concurrent agents in the system are assumed to act strategically in an attempt to satisfy a temporal logic formula representing their individual goal. The basic analy...
متن کاملNash Equilibria in Concurrent Games with Büchi Objectives
We study the problem of computing pure-strategy Nash equilibria in multiplayer concurrent games with Büchi-definable objectives. First, when the objectives are Büchi conditions on the game, we prove that the existence problem can be solved in polynomial time. In a second part, we extend our technique to objectives defined by deterministic Büchi automata, and prove that the problem then becomes ...
متن کاملNash Equilibria in Concurrent Priced Games
Concurrent game structures model multi-player games played on finite graphs where the players simultaneously choose their moves and collectively determine the next state of the game. We extend this model with prices on transitions for each player. We study pure Nash equilibria in this framework where each player’s payoff is the accumulated price of all transitions until reaching their goal stat...
