Symmetric Game - The General Case

The General Case

Dasgupta and Maskin consider games where where U_i,i=1,\ldots N
is the payoff function for player and is player 's strategy set. Then the game is defined to be symmetric if for any permutation ,


U_i(a_1,\ldots,a_i,\ldots,a_N) = U_{\pi(i)}(a_{\pi(1)},\ldots,a_{\pi(i)},\ldots,a_{\pi(N)}).

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or case:

    “We raised a simple prayer
    Before we left the spot,
    That in the general mowing
    That place might be forgot;
    Or if not all so favored,
    Obtain such grace of hours
    That none should mow the grass there
    While so confused with flowers.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Half the testimony in the Bobbitt case sounded like Sally Jesse Raphael. Juries watch programs like this and are ready to listen.”
