GAME THEORY AND STRATEGIC DECISION MAKING
www.nust.naNash Equilibrium: I am doing the best I can given what you are doing. You are doing the best you can given what I am doing. NB: Dominant strategy equilibrium is a special case of Nash equilibrium. In Table 2 above there is a single Nash Equilibrium-both firms advertise. In general a game need not have a single Nash Equilibrium.
Chapter 11 Subgame-Perfect Nash Equilibrium
ocw.mit.eduA subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium is a Nash equilibrium because the entire game is also a subgame. The converse is not true. There can be a Nash Equilibrium that is not subgame-perfect. For example, the above game has the following equilibrium: Player 1 plays in the beginning, and they would have played ( ) in the proper subgame, as

Pure Strategy Nash Equilibrium - Cornell University
www.cs.cornell.eduPure Strategy Nash Equilibrium A strategy vector s = (s 1;:::;s k) is a pure strategy Nash Equilibrium (pure Nash) if c i (s) c i(s0;s i) for all i, and for all s0 i 2S i. Intuitively, no player is able to decrease their cost through unilateral action (choosing another of their strategies while everybody else remains the same).

people.math.sc.eduThe Nash equilibrium of (Fink, Fink) is the pure strategy Nash equilibrium for the Prisoner’s Dilemma. For nite normal form games, Nash equilibria are guaranteed to exist in mixed strategies, which will be intro-duced later. Additionally, we note that in a symmetric game (that is, a game where each player has the same

www.cdam.lse.ac.ukNash equilibrium A Nash equilibrium, also called strategic equilibrium, is a list of strategies, one for each player, which has the property that no player can unilaterally change his strategy and get a better payoff. Payoff A payoff is a number, also called utility, that reflects the desirability of an outcome to a player, for whatever reason.

The functions f1, f2 are called payoff functions of two players and the sets S1 and S2 are the strategy sets of the players. Under additional assumptions on fi and Si there exists a Nash equilibrium, see Nash [46]. In Section 2.4.5

homepages.cwi.nlthe vector of bids (0,4,5,5) is a Nash equilibrium with player 3 being the winner. Finally, notice the following strange consequence of the above theorem: in no Nash equilibrium the last player, n, is a winner. The reason is that we resolved the ties in the favour of a bidder with the lowest index. Indeed, by

Suppose that n bidders with values v 1 >v 2 >:::>v n >0 submit bids b = (b 1;:::;b n) 2<n simultaneously for some good. The highest bidder wins and pays his or her own bid.
