چکیده

We investigate a model for representing large multiplayer games, which satisfy strong symmetry properties. This model is made of multiple copies of an arena; each player plays in his own arena, and can partially observe what the other players do. Therefore, this game has partial information and symmetry constraints, which make the computation of Nash equilibria difficult. We show several undecidability results, and for bounded-memory strategies, we precisely characterize the complexity of computing pure Nash equilibria for qualitative objectives in this game model.

Computing Pure Nash Equilibria in Symmetric Action Graph Games

We analyze the problem of computing pure Nash equilibria in action graph games (AGGs), which are a compact gametheoretic representation. While the problem is NP-complete in general, for certain classes of AGGs there exist polynomial time algorithms. We propose a dynamic-programming approach that constructs equilibria of the game from equilibria of restricted games played on subgraphs of the act...

Compact game representations in graph for computing Nash equilibria

Nash equilibrium is one of the most important concepts in game theory. A lot of research efforts are invested into finding Nash equilibria of games. Unfortunately, all existing methods for finding Nash equilibria of arbitrary games require exponential runtime. This makes the application of Nash equilibria impractical. Real world games often have topological independencies. An agent’s payoff doe...

On the complexity of Nash equilibria of action-graph games

We consider the problem of computing Nash Equilibria of action-graph games (AGGs). AGGs, introduced by Bhat and Leyton-Brown, is a succinct representation of games that encapsulates both ‘local’dependencies as in graphical games, and partial indifference to other agents’ identities as in anonymous games, which occur in many natural settings. This is achieved by specifying a graph on the set of ...

A partial proof of Nash's Theorem via exchangeable equilibria

We give a novel proof of the existence of Nash equilibria in all finite games without using fixed point theorems or path following arguments. Our approach relies on a new notion intermediate between Nash and correlated equilibria called exchangeable equilibria, which are correlated equilibria with certain symmetry and factorization properties. We prove these exist by a duality argument, using H...
