Temporal Action-Graph Games: A New Representation for Dynamic Games
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce temporal action graph games (TAGGs), a novel graphical representation of imperfect-information extensive form games. We show that when a game involves anonymity or context-specific utility independencies, its encoding as a TAGG can be much more compact than its direct encoding as a multiagent influence diagram (MAID). We also show that TAGGs can be understood as indirect MAID encodings in which many deterministic chance nodes are introduced. We provide an algorithm for computing with TAGGs, and show both theoretically and empirically that our approach improves significantly on the previous state of the art.

Dynamic 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 کاملRepresenting and Reasoning with Large Games
In the last decade, there has been much research at the interface of computer science and game theory. One important class of problems at this interface is the computation of solution concepts (such as Nash equilibrium or correlated equilibrium) of a finite game. In order to take advantage of the highly-structured utility functions in games of practical interest, it is important to design compa...
متن کاملComputing Pure Nash Equilibria in Symmetric Action Graph Games
We analyze the problem of computing pure Nash equilibria in action graph games (AGGs), which are a compact gametheoretic representation. While the problem is NP-complete in general, for certain classes of AGGs there exist polynomial time algorithms. We propose a dynamic-programming approach that constructs equilibria of the game from equilibria of restricted games played on subgraphs of the act...
متن کاملClassification on Graphs for Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment: More Questions Than Answers
Motivated by a problem of dynamic difficulty adjustment in computer games, we propose a new learning setting. We argue that video games require a mechanism for dynamic difficulty adjustment. Such mechanism can be formulated as a classification problem on a graph that combines the properties of online and active learning. The main contribution of this paper is the clarification of this novel lea...
متن کاملStochastic Games: A Tutorial
Game theory [1] is a formalism for the study of competitive interaction in the rich spectrum of relationships ranging between conflict and cooperation. Originally conceived as a mathematical foundation of economics, it proved its robustness by providing new techniques and insights in logic and set theory [15, 13], evolutionary and population biology [22], auction design and implementation, the ...
