چکیده

In this paper, a class of bimatrix games having the same Nash equilibria of a given game, either in pure or in mixed policies, is characterized. Such a goal is reached by computing the set of all the polynomials that are monotone strictly increasing in a given interval and by borrowing techniques from algebraic geometry to find solutions to a set of polynomial equalities.

Cooperative Benefit and Cost Games under Fairness Concerns

Solution concepts in cooperative games are based on either cost games or benefit games. Although cost games and benefit games are strategically equivalent, that is not the case in general for solution concepts. Motivated by this important observation, a new property called invariance property with respect to benefit/cost allocation is introduced in this paper. Since such a property can be regar...

Interval valued bimatrix games

Payoffs in (bimatrix) games are usually not known precisely, but it is often possible to determine lower and upper bounds on payoffs. Such interval valued bimatrix games are considered in this paper. There are many questions arising in this context. First, we discuss the problem of existence of an equilibrium being common for all instances of interval values. We show that this property is equiv...

Computation of Completely Mixed Equilibrium Payoffs in Bimatrix Games

Computing the (Nash) equilibrium payoffs in a given bimatrix game (i.e., a finite two-person game in strategic form) is a problem of considerable practical importance. One algorithm that can be used for this purpose is the Lemke-Howson algorithm (Lemke and Howson (1964); von Stengel (2002)), which is guaranteed to find one equilibrium. Another, more elementary, approach is to compute the equili...
