Nash Equilibrium in Games with Ordered Outcomes
Victor V. Rozen Saratov State University, Astrakhanskaya St. 83, Saratov, 410012, Russia
Abstract:
We study Nash equilibrium in games with ordered outcomes. Given game with
ordered outcomes, we can construct its mixed extension. For it the preference
relations of players are to be extended to the set of probability measures.
In this work we use the canonical extension of an order to the set of
probability measures.
It is shown that a finding of Nash equilibrium points in mixed extension of a
game with ordered outcomes can be reduced to search so called balanced
matrices, which was introduced by the author. The necessary condition for
existence of Nash equilibrium points in mixed extension of a game with ordered
outcomes is a presence of balanced submatrices for the matrix of its
realization function. We construct a certain method for searching of all
balanced submatrices of given matrix using the concept of extreme balanced
matrix. Necessary and sufficient conditions for Nash equilibrium point in
mixed extension of a game with ordered outcomes are given also.
Keywords:
Game with ordered outcomes, Nash equilibrium, Mixed extension of a game with ordered outcomes, Balanced matrix, Extreme balanced matrix, Balanced collection.
