Transformations of normal form games by preplay offers for payments among players
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider transformations of normal form games by binding preplay offers of players for payments of utility to other players conditional on them playing designated in the offers strategies. The game-theoretic effect of such preplay offers is transformation of the payoff matrix of the game by transferring payoffs between players. Here we analyze and completely characterize the possible transformations of the payoff matrix of a normal form game by sets of preplay offers.

Non-cooperative games with preplay negotiations
We consider an extension of strategic normal form games with a phase of negotiations before the actual play of the game, where players can make binding offers for transfer of utilities to other players after the play of the game, in order to provide additional incentives for each other to play designated strategies. Such offers are conditional on the recipients playing the specified strategies ...
متن کاملAn Offer You Cannot Refuse: Obtaining Efficiency and Fairness in Preplay Negotiation Games with Conditional Offers
We study a recently introduced extension of normal form games with a phase before the actual play of the game, where each player can make binding offers for payments of utility to the other players after the play of the game, contingent on the recipient playing the strategy indicated in the offer. Such offers transform the payoff matrix of the original game and allow for some degree of cooperat...
متن کاملTwo-player preplay negotiation games with conditional offers
We consider an extension of strategic normal form games with a phase before the actual play of the game, where players can make binding offers for transfer of utilities to other players after the play of the game, contingent on the recipient playing the strategy indicated in the offer. Such offers transform the payoff matrix of the original game but preserve its non-cooperative nature. The type...
متن کاملHard and soft equilibria in boolean games
A fundamental problem in game theory is the possibility of reaching equilibrium outcomes with undesirable properties, e.g., inefficiency. The economics literature abounds with models that attempt to modify games in order to eliminate such undesirable equilibria, for example through the use of subsidies and taxation, or by allowing players to undergo a preplay negotiation phase. In this paper, w...
متن کاملA Closed-Form Formula for the Fair Allocation of Gains in Cooperative N-Person Games
Abstract This paper provides a closed-form optimal solution to the multi-objective model of the fair allocation of gains obtained by cooperation among all players. The optimality of the proposed solution is first proved. Then, the properties of the proposed solution are investigated. At the end, a numerical example in inventory control environment is given to demonstrate the application and t...
