A Geometric-Combinatorial Approach to Index and Stability in Bimatrix Games

This thesis provides a new geometric-combinatorial construction to characterise the Nash equilibria of a non-degenerate bimatrix game and their indices. Considering a non-degenerate m× n bimatrix game, the construction yields an (m− 1)-simplex X4 that is simplicially divided into (m−1)-simplices, reflecting the best reply structure of player II. Each (m− 1)-simplex in the triangulation is divid...

Hard-to-solve Bimatrix Games by Rahul Savani

The Lemke–Howson algorithm is the classical method for finding one Nash equilibrium of a bimatrix game. This paper presents a class of square bimatrix games for which this algorithm takes, even in the best case, an exponential number of steps in the dimension d of the game. Using polytope theory, the games are constructed using pairs of dual cyclic polytopes with 2d suitably labeled facets in d...

Geometry and equilibria in bimatrix games

This thesis studies the application of geometric concepts and methods in the analysis of strategic-form games, in particular bimatrix games. Our focus is on three geometric concepts: the index, geometric algorithms for the computation of Nash equilibria, and polytopes. The contribution of this thesis consists of three parts. First, we present an algorithm for the computation of the index in deg...

Approximate Well-Supported Nash Equilibria in Symmetric Bimatrix Games

The ε-well-supported Nash equilibrium is a strong notion of approximation of a Nash equilibrium, where no player has an incentive greater than ε to deviate from any of the pure strategies that she uses in her mixed strategy. The smallest constant ε currently known for which there is a polynomial-time algorithm that computes an ε-well-supported Nash equilibrium in bimatrix games is slightly belo...

Zero-Sum Game Techniques for Approximate Nash Equilibria

We apply existing, and develop new, zero-sum game techniques for designing polynomial-time algorithms to compute additive approximate Nash equilibria in bimatrix games. In particular, we give a polynomial-time algorithm that given an arbitrary bimatrix game as an input, outputs either an additive 1 3 -Nash equilibrium or an additive 1 2 -well-supported Nash equilibrium; and we give a polynomial...

On Loss Aversion in Bimatrix Games

In this article three different types of loss aversion equilibria in bimatrix games are studied. Loss aversion equilibria are Nash equilibria of games where players are loss averse and where the reference points—points below which they consider payoffs to be losses— are endogenous to the equilibrium calculation. The first type is the fixed point loss aversion equilibrium, introduced in Shalev (...
