On Completely Mixed Stochastic Games

چکیده

In this paper, we consider a zero-sum undiscounted stochastic game which has finite state space and finitely many pure actions. Also, assume the transition probability of is controlled by one player all optimal strategies are strictly positive. Under above assumptions, show that $\beta$-discounted games with same payoff matrices $\beta$ sufficiently close to 1 also completely mixed. We give counterexample converse result in not true. that, if have non-zero value some for then possess nonzero state.

Perturbation Theory of Completely Mixed Bimatrix Games

A twoperson non-zero-sum bimatrix game (A, B) is defined to be completely mixed if every solution gives a positive probability to each pure strategy of each player. Such a game is defined to be nonsingular if both payoff matrices are nonsingular. Suppose that A is perturbed to A + aG and B is perturbed to B + aH, where C and H are matrices of the same size as A and B, and OL is a small real num...

Computation of Completely Mixed Equilibrium Payoffs in Bimatrix Games

Computing the (Nash) equilibrium payoffs in a given bimatrix game (i.e., a finite two-person game in strategic form) is a problem of considerable practical importance. One algorithm that can be used for this purpose is the Lemke-Howson algorithm (Lemke and Howson (1964); von Stengel (2002)), which is guaranteed to find one equilibrium. Another, more elementary, approach is to compute the equili...

On Some Saddle Point Matrices and Applications to Completely Mixed Equilibrium in Bimatrix Games

Introduction The first part of the paper presents several properties of saddle point matrices with two vector blocks. In these block matrices, the top-left block is a real square matrix , the topright block is the column vector with all entries , the bottom-left block is transposed, and the bottom-right block has the single entry . If is symmetric, the saddle point matrix can be interpreted as ...

Mean Field Stochastic Games with Discrete States and Mixed Players

We consider mean field Markov decision processes with a major player and a large number of minor players which have their individual objectives. The players have decoupled state transition laws and are coupled by the costs via the state distribution of the minor players. We introduce a stochastic difference equation to model the update of the limiting state distribution process and solve limiti...

Stochastic Games.

Introduction.-In a stochastic game the play proceeds by steps from position to position, according to transition probabilities controlled jointly by the two players. We shall assume a finite number, N, of positions, and finite numbers Mk, nk of choices at each position; nevertheless, the game may not be bounded in length. If, when at position k, the players choose their ith and jth alternatives...
