Determinacy in Stochastic Games with Unbounded Payoff Functions
We consider infinite-state turn-based stochastic games of two players, and ^, who aim at maximizing and minimizing the expected total reward accumulated along a run, respectively. Since the total accumulated reward is unbounded, the determinacy of such games cannot be deduced directly from Martin’s determinacy result for Blackwell games. Nevertheless, we show that these games are determined bot...
متن کاملMarkov Perfect Equilibria in Stochastic Bequest Games
In many real-life situations, the preferences of an economic agent change over time. Rational behaviour of such agents was studied by many authors (Strotz, Pollak, Bernheim and Ray) who considered so-called “consistent plans”. Phelps and Pollak [10] introduced the notion of “quasi-hyperbolic discounting”, which is a modification of the classical discounting proposed in 1937 by Samuelson. Within...
متن کاملUnbounded entanglement in nonlocal games
Quantum entanglement is known to provide a strong advantage in many two-party distributed tasks. We investigate the question of how much entanglement is needed to reach optimal performance. For the first time we show that there exists a purely classical scenario for which no finite amount of entanglement suffices. To this end we introduce a simple two-party nonlocal game H , inspired by Lucien ...
متن کاملTransferable utility games with uncertainty
We introduce the concept of a TUU-game, a transferable utility game with uncertainty. In a TUU-game there is uncertainty regarding the payoffs of coalitions. One out of a finite number of states of nature materializes and conditional on the state, the players are involved in a particular transferable utility game. We consider the case without ex ante commitment possibilities and propose the Wea...
متن کاملAdapting Reinforcement Learning for Computer Games: Using Group Utility Functions
Group utility functions are an extension of the common team utility function for providing multiple agents with a common reinforcement learning signal for learning cooperative behaviour. In this paper we describe what group utility functions are and suggest using them to provide non-player computer game character behaviours. As yet, reinforcement learning techniques have very rarely been used f...
