چکیده

Just as traditional games can be represented by trees, so concurrent games can be represented by event structures. We show the determinacy of such concurrent games with Borel sets of configurations as winning conditions, provided they are race-free and bounded-concurrent. Both properties are shown necessary. The determinacy proof proceeds via a reduction to the determinacy of tree games, and the determinacy of these in turn reduces to the determinacy of Gale-Stewart games.

What are Strategies in Delay Games? Borel Determinacy for Games with Lookahead

We investigate determinacy of delay games with Borel winning conditions, infinite-duration twoplayer games in which one player may delay her moves to obtain a lookahead on her opponent’s moves. First, we prove determinacy of such games with respect to a fixed evolution of the lookahead. However, strategies in such games may depend on information about the evolution. Thus, we introduce different...

From winning strategy to Nash equilibrium

Game theory is usually considered applied mathematics, but a few game-theoretic results, such as Borel determinacy, were developed by mathematicians for mathematics in a broad sense. These results usually state determinacy, i.e. the existence of a winning strategy in games that involve two players and two outcomes saying who wins. In a multi-outcome setting, the notion of winning strategy is ir...

An Introduction to Proofs of Determinacy of Long Games

We present the basic methods used in proofs of determinacy of long games, and apply these methods to games of continuously coded length. From the dawn of time women and men have aspired upward. The development of determinacy proofs is no exception to this general rule. There has been a steady search for higher forms of determinacy, beginning with the results of Gale–Stewart [2] on closed length...

A pr 1 99 6 Blackwell Games 1 Blackwell Games

Blackwell games are infinite games of imperfect information. The two players simultaneously make their moves and are then informed of each other’s moves. Payoff is determined by a Borel measurable function f on the set of possible resulting sequences of moves. A standard result in Game Theory is that finite games of this type are determined. Blackwell proved that infinite games are determined, ...
