چکیده

Iterated games are well-known in the game theory literature. We study iterated Boolean games. These are games in which players repeatedly choose truth values for Boolean variables they have control over. Our model of iterated Boolean games assumes that players have goals given by formulae of Linear Temporal Logic (LTL), a formalism for expressing properties of state sequences. In order to model the strategies that players use in such games, we use a finite state machine model. After introducing and formally defining iterated Boolean games, we investigate the computational complexity of their associated game-theoretic decision problems as well as semantic conditions characterising classes of LTL properties that are preserved by pure strategy Nash equilibria whenever they exist.

Rational verification in Iterated Electric Boolean Games

Electric boolean games are compact representations of games where the players have qualitative objectives described by LTL formulae and have limited resources. We study the complexity of several decision problems related to the analysis of rationality in electric boolean games with LTL objectives. In particular, we report that the problem of deciding whether a profile is a Nash equilibrium in a...

Expressiveness and Nash Equilibrium in Iterated Boolean Games

We introduce and investigate a novel notion of expressiveness for temporal logics that is based on game theoretic properties of multiagent systems. We focus on iterated Boolean games, where each agent i has a goal γi, represented using (a fragment of) Linear Temporal Logic (LTL). The goal γi captures agent i’s preferences: the models of γi represent system behaviours that would satisfy i, and e...

Relaxing Exclusive Control in Boolean Games

In the typical framework for boolean games (BG) each player can change the truth value of some propositional atoms, while attempting to make her goal true. In standard BG goals are propositional formulas, whereas in iterated BG goals are formulas of Linear Temporal Logic. Both notions of BG are characterised by the fact that agents have exclusive control over their set of atoms, meaning that no...

Iterated Games with LDL Goals over Finite Traces

Linear Dynamic Logic on finite traces (LDLF) is a powerful logic for reasoning about the behaviour of concurrent and multi-agent systems. In this paper, we investigate techniques for both the characterisation and verification of equilibria in multi-player games with goals/objectives expressed using logics based on LDLF. This study builds upon a generalisation of Boolean games, a logic-based gam...

A boolean algebraic approach to semiproper iterations

These notes present a compact and self contained development of the theory of iterated forcing with a focus on semiproperness and revised countable support iterations. We shall pursue the approach to iterated forcing devised by Donder and Fuchs in [4], thus we shall present iterated forcing by means of directed system of complete and injective homomorphisms of complete boolean algebras. A guidi...
