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:

“No doubt, the short distance to which you can see in the woods, and the general twilight, would at length react on the inhabitants, and make them savages. The lakes also reveal the mountains, and give ample scope and range to our thought.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“In sane moments we regard only the facts, the case that is.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
