Ordinal Potentials in Smooth Games
While smooth exact potential games are easily characterized in terms of the crossderivatives of playerspayo¤ functions, an analogous di¤erentiable characterization of ordinal or generalized ordinal potential games has been elusive for a long time. In this paper, it is shown that the existence of a generalized ordinal potential in a smooth game with multidimensional strategy spaces is crucially...
متن کاملOrdinal Games
We study strategic games where players' preferences are weak orders which need not admit utility representations. First of all, we extend Voorneveld's concept of best-response potential from cardinal to ordinal games and derive the analogue of his characterization result: An ordinal game is a best-response potential game if and only if it does not have a best-response cycle. The characterizatio...
متن کاملMulticriteria games and potentials
In this note we study how far the theory of strategic games with potentials, as reported by Monderer and Shapley (Games Econ Behav 14:124–143, 1996), can be extended to strategic games with vector payoffs, as reported by Shapley (Nav Res Logist Q 6:57–61, 1959). The problem of the existence of pure approximate Pareto equilibria for multicriteria potential games is also studied.
متن کاملEquilibria in Ordinal Games: A Framework based on Possibility Theory
The present paper proposes the first definition of a mixed equilibrium in an ordinal game. This definition naturally extends possibilistic (single agent) decision theory. Our first contribution is to show that ordinal games always admit a possibilistic mixed equilibrium, which can be seen as a qualitative counterpart to mixed (probabilistic) equilibrium. Then, we show that a possibilistic mixed...
متن کاملCongestion Games and Potentials Reconsidered
In congestion games, players use facilities from a common pool. The benefit that a player derives from using a facility depends, possibly among other things, on the number of users of this facility. The paper gives an easy alternative proof of the isomorphism between exact potential games and the set of congestion games introduced by Rosenthal (1973). It clarifies the relations between existing...
