Evolutionary Stability of Pure-Strategy Equilibria in Finite Games

چکیده
Sufficient conditions for pure-strategy Nash equilibria of finite games to be Ž . Lyapunov stable under a large class of evolutionary dynamics, the regular monotonic selection dynamics, are discussed. In particular, it is shown that in almost all finite extensive-form games, all the pure-strategy equilibria are stable. In such games, all mixed-strategy equilibria close to pure-strategy equilibria are also stable. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Numbers: C70, C72. Q 1997

Instability of Mixed Nash Equilibria in Generalised Hawk-Dove Game: A Project Conflict Management Scenario
This paper generalises the Hawk-Dove evolutionary game by introducing cost sharing ratios for both players, and applies the generalised Hawk-Dove model to conflict management in projects through investigating the stability of Nash equilibria. A model with clashing interests between a project owner and a contractor is considered to derive their strategy adaptation given the cost sharing ratios. ...
متن کاملPure strategy equilibria in symmetric two-player zero-sum games
We show that a symmetric two-player zero-sum game has a pure strategy equilibrium if and only if it is not a generalized rock-paper-scissors matrix. Moreover, we show that every finite symmetric quasiconcave two-player zero-sum game has a pure equilibrium. Further sufficient conditions for existence are provided. We point out that the class of symmetric two-player zero-sum games coincides with ...
متن کاملMean-Potential Law in Evolutionary Games.
The Letter presents a novel way to connect random walks, stochastic differential equations, and evolutionary game theory. We introduce a new concept of a potential function for discrete-space stochastic systems. It is based on a correspondence between one-dimensional stochastic differential equations and random walks, which may be exact not only in the continuous limit but also in finite-state ...
متن کاملComputing pure Bayesian-Nash equilibria in games with finite actions and continuous types
We extend the well-known fictitious play (FP) algorithm to compute pure-strategy Bayesian-Nash equilibria in private-value games of incomplete information with finite actions and con-tinuous types (G-FACTs). We prove that, if the frequency distribution of actions (fictitiousplay beliefs) converges, then there exists a pure-strategy equilibrium strategy that is con-sistent with i...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary Interpretation of Mixed-strategy Equilibria*
One of the more convincing interpretations of mixed strategy equilibria describes a mixed equilibrium as a steady state in a large population in which all players use pure strategies but the population as a whole mimics a mixed strategy. To be complete, however, this interpretation requires a good story about how the population arrives at the appropriate distribution over pure strategies. In th...
