Richard J. Lipton - Games With Simple Strategies

Games With Simple Strategies

In the area of game theory, more specifically on non-cooperative game, Lipton together with E.Markakis and A.Mehta proved the existence of epsilon-equilibrium strategies with support logarithmic in the number of pure strategy. Furthermore, the payoff of such strategies can epsilon-approximate the payoffs of exact Nash equilibrium. The limited size (logarithmic) of support provides a natural quasi-polynomial algorithm of computing an epsilon-equilibrium.

Famous quotes containing the words games with, games, simple and/or strategies:

    Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Criticism occupies the lowest place in the literary hierarchy: as regards form, almost always; and as regards moral value, incontestably. It comes after rhyming games and acrostics, which at least require a certain inventiveness.
    Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)

    We may prepare food for our children, chauffeur them around, take them to the movies, buy them toys and ice cream, but nothing registers as deeply as a simple squeeze, cuddle, or pat on the back. There is no greater reassurance of their lovability and worth than to be affectionately touched and held.
    Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    By intervening in the Vietnamese struggle the United States was attempting to fit its global strategies into a world of hillocks and hamlets, to reduce its majestic concerns for the containment of communism and the security of the Free World to a dimension where governments rose and fell as a result of arguments between two colonels’ wives.
    Frances Fitzgerald (b. 1940)
