Nash Equilibria in Symmetric Games with Partial Observation

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.

Nash equilibria in symmetric graph games with partial observation
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 undeci...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملUsing Simultaneous Best Response to Find Symmetric Bayes-Nash Equilibria in Auctions
Finding Nash and Bayes-Nash equilibria in games is a hard problem both analytically and computationally. We restrict out attention to symmetric Bayes-Nash equilibria in auctions and propose a computational method that takes advantage of the symmetry of equilibria and structure of auction games. The method is iterated best-response where all players move simultaneously. We present experimental r...
متن کاملNotes on Equilibria in Symmetric Games
In a symmetric game, every player is identical with respect to the game rules. We show that a symmetric 2strategy game must have a pure-strategy Nash equilibrium. We also discuss Nash’s original paper and its generalized notion of symmetry in games. As a special case of Nash’s theorem, any finite symmetric game has a symmetric Nash equilibrium. Furthermore, symmetric infinite games with compact...
متن کاملPartial Cooperative Equilibria: Existence and Characterization
We study the solution concepts of partial cooperative Cournot-Nash equilibria and partial cooperative Stackelberg equilibria. The partial cooperative Cournot-Nash equilibrium is axiomatically characterized by using notions of rationality, consistency and converse consistency with regard to reduced games. We also establish sufficient conditions for which partial cooperative Cournot-Nash equilibr...
