Nash equilibrium in strictly competitive games: live play in soccer
نویسنده
چکیده
I model a scoring situation that arises frequently during soccer matches. The Nash equilibrium solution is shown to be broadly consistent with the conventional wisdom of experts. Data on goals scored over an entire season in Italy’s soccer league provide statistical support for a prediction of the model’s Nash equilibrium. D 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

On the Irrelevance of Risk Attitudes in Repeated Two-Outcome Games
We study equilibrium and maximin play in supergames consisting of the sequential play of a finite collection of stage games, where each stage game has two outcomes for each player. We show that for two-player supergames in which each stage game is strictly competitive, in any Nash equilibrium of the supergame, play at each stage is a Nash equilibrium of the stage game provided preferences over ...
متن کاملA Game-Theoretic Analysis of Strictly Competitive Multiagent Scenarios
This paper is a comparative study of game-theoretic solution concepts in strictly competitive multiagent scenarios, as commonly encountered in the context of parlor games, competitive economic situations, and some social choice settings. We model these scenarios as ranking games in which every outcome is a ranking of the players, with higher ranks being preferred over lower ones. Rather than co...
متن کاملVehicle Routing Problem in Competitive Environment: Two-Person Nonzero Sum Game Approach
Vehicle routing problem is one of the most important issues in transportation. Among VRP problems, the competitive VRP is more important because there is a tough competition between distributors and retailers. In this study we introduced new method for VRP in competitive environment. In these methods Two-Person Nonzero Sum games are defined to choose equilibrium solution. Therefore, revenue giv...
متن کاملNash Equilibrium Strategy for Bi-matrix Games with L-R Fuzzy Payoffs
In this paper, bi-matrix games are investigated based on L-R fuzzy variables. Also, based on the fuzzy max order several models in non-symmetrical L-R fuzzy environment is constructed and the existence condition of Nash equilibrium strategies of the fuzzy bi-matrix games is proposed. At last, based on the Nash equilibrium of crisp parametric bi-matrix games, we obtain the Pareto and weak Pareto...
متن کاملMultiagent reinforcement learning: algorithm converging to Nash equilibrium in general-sum discounted stochastic games
Reinforcement learning turned out a technique that allowed robots to ride a bicycle, computers to play backgammon on the level of human world masters and solve such complicated tasks of high dimensionality as elevator dispatching. Can it come to rescue in the next generation of challenging problems like playing football or bidding on virtual markets? Reinforcement learning that provides a way o...
