Towards a Characterization of Chance in Games The Case of Two-Player Zero-Sum Games with Perfect Information

چکیده
The distinction between games of chance and games of skill is not well-defined at present. We introduce the concept of chanciness for non-deterministic two-player zero-sum games with sequential moves and perfect information. chanciness quantifies how strongly a game is influenced by chance events. We demonstrate that the relative influence of chance on game outcomes varies with the skill of the playing agents. Therefore, we assign a chanciness value to the combination of a game and a specific set of players. The effective computability of chanciness is demonstrated for exemplary games.

A TRANSITION FROM TWO-PERSON ZERO-SUM GAMES TO COOPERATIVE GAMES WITH FUZZY PAYOFFS
In this paper, we deal with games with fuzzy payoffs. We proved that players who are playing a zero-sum game with fuzzy payoffs against Nature are able to increase their joint payoff, and hence their individual payoffs by cooperating. It is shown that, a cooperative game with the fuzzy characteristic function can be constructed via the optimal game values of the zero-sum games with fuzzy payoff...
متن کاملUsing counterfactual regret minimization to create competitive multiplayer poker agents
Games are used to evaluate and advance Multiagent and Artificial Intelligence techniques. Most of these games are deterministic with perfect information (e.g. Chess and Checkers). A deterministic game has no chance element and in a perfect information game, all information is visible to all players. However, many real-world scenarios with competing agents are stochastic (non-deterministic) with...
متن کاملFinding Equilibria in Games of No Chance
We consider finding maximin strategies and equilibria of explicitly given extensive form games with imperfect information but with no moves of chance. We show: 1. A maximin pure strategy for a two-player extensive form game with perfect recall and no moves of chance can be found in time linear in the size of the game tree. In contrast, it is known that this problem is NP-hard for games with cha...
متن کاملFinite-step Algorithms for Single-controller and Perfect Information Stochastic Games
After a brief survey of iterative algorithms for general stochastic games, we concentrate on finite-step algorithms for two special classes of stochastic games. They are Single-Controller Stochastic Games and Perfect Information Stochastic Games. In the case of single-controller games, the transition probabilities depend on the actions of the same player in all states. In perfect information st...
متن کاملAlgorithms for uniform optimal strategies in two-player zero-sum stochastic games with perfect information
In stochastic games with perfect information, in each state at most one player has more than one action available. We propose two algorithms which find the uniform optimal strategies for zero-sum two-player stochastic games with perfect information. Such strategies are optimal for the long term average criterion as well. We prove the convergence for one algorithm, which presents a higher comple...
