Algorithms for uniform optimal strategies in two-player zero-sum stochastic games with perfect information
نویسندگان
چکیده
In stochastic games with perfect information, in each state at most one player has more than one action available. We propose two algorithms which find the uniform optimal strategies for zero-sum two-player stochastic games with perfect information. Such strategies are optimal for the long term average criterion as well. We prove the convergence for one algorithm, which presents a higher complexity than the other one, for which we provide numerical analysis.

Computing Uniformly Optimal Strategies in Two-Player Stochastic Games
We provide a computable algorithm to calculate uniform ε-optimal strategies in two-player zero-sum stochastic games. Our approach can be used to construct algorithms that calculate uniform ε-equilibria and uniform correlated ε-equilibria in various classes of multi-player non-zero-sum stochastic games. JEL codes: C63, C73.
متن کاملPure and Stationary Optimal Strategies in Perfect-Information Stochastic Games
We consider two-players zero-sum perfect information stochastic games with finitely many states and actions and examine the problem of existence of pure stationary optimal strategies. We show that the existence of such strategies for one-player games (Markov decision processes) implies the existence of such strategies for two-player games. The result is general and holds for any payoff mapping.
متن کاملPure and Stationary Optimal Strategies in Perfect-Information Stochastic Games with Global Preferences
We examine the problem of the existence of optimal deterministic stationary strategies in two-players antagonistic (zero-sum) perfect information stochastic games with finitely many states and actions. We show that the existence of such strategies follows from the existence of optimal deterministic stationary strategies for some derived one-player games. Thus we reduce the problem from two-play...
متن کاملA TRANSITION FROM TWO-PERSON ZERO-SUM GAMES TO COOPERATIVE GAMES WITH FUZZY PAYOFFS
In this paper, we deal with games with fuzzy payoffs. We proved that players who are playing a zero-sum game with fuzzy payoffs against Nature are able to increase their joint payoff, and hence their individual payoffs by cooperating. It is shown that, a cooperative game with the fuzzy characteristic function can be constructed via the optimal game values of the zero-sum games with fuzzy payoff...
متن کاملFinite-step Algorithms for Single-controller and Perfect Information Stochastic Games
After a brief survey of iterative algorithms for general stochastic games, we concentrate on finite-step algorithms for two special classes of stochastic games. They are Single-Controller Stochastic Games and Perfect Information Stochastic Games. In the case of single-controller games, the transition probabilities depend on the actions of the same player in all states. In perfect information st...
