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, simple and/or strategies:

    At the age of twelve I was finding the world too small: it appeared to me like a dull, trim back garden, in which only trivial games could be played.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    We all enter the world with fairly simple needs: to be protected, to be nurtured, to be loved unconditionally, and to belong.
    Louise Hart (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)
