Existence of Nash equilibria with C-convexity
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to introduce general C-convex and C-concave conditions, and then to prove two existence theorems of Nash equilibria in generalized games with C-concavity. Our results generalize the corresponding results due to Nash, Forgó, Takahashi and Kim–Lee in several ways. 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

On the Existence of Nash Equilibria in Discontinuous and Qualitative Games
We provide a unified approach to existence of Nash equilibria in (possibly) discontinuous and qualitative games. We combine the idea of a local continuous selection of each player’s strict upper contour set from the qualitative games literature with the “better reply security” idea (Reny [15]) of activating different players locally from the discontinuous games literature, together with a weak ...
متن کاملDocument de travail du LEM 2008-18 EXISTENCE OF EQUILIBRIUM IN MINIMAX INEQUALITIES, SADDLE POINTS, FIXED POINTS, AND GAMES WITHOUT CONVEXITY SETS
This paper characterizes the existence of equilibria in minimax inequalities without assuming any form of quasi-concavity of functions and convexity or compactness of choice sets. A new condition, called “local dominatedness property”, is shown to be necessary and further, under some mild continuity condition, sufficient for the existence of equilibrium. We then apply the basic result obtained ...

متن کاملExistence of Nash Equilibria via Variational Inequalities in Riemannian Manifolds
In this paper, we first prove a generalization of McClendon’s variational inequality for contractible multimaps. Next, using a new generalized variational inequality, we will prove an existence theorem of Nash equilibrium for the generalized game G = (Xi;Ti, fi)i∈I in a finite dimensional Riemannian manifold. A suitable example for Nash equilibrium is given in a geodesic convex generalized game...
متن کاملLocation of Nash Equilibria: a Riemannian Geometrical Approach
Existence and location of Nash equilibrium points are studied for a large class of a finite family of payoff functions whose domains are not necessarily convex in the usual sense. The geometric idea is to embed these non-convex domains into suitable Riemannian manifolds regaining certain geodesic convexity properties of them. By using recent non-smooth analysis on Riemannian manifolds and a var...
