Payoff Matrix
The canonical payoff matrix is shown below (if only integer inputs are taken into account):
| 100 | 99 | 98 | 97 | ⋯ | 3 | 2 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 100, 100 | 97, 101 | 96, 100 | 95, 99 | ⋯ | 1, 5 | 0, 4 |
| 99 | 101, 97 | 99, 99 | 96, 100 | 95, 99 | ⋯ | 1, 5 | 0, 4 |
| 98 | 100, 96 | 100, 96 | 98, 98 | 95, 99 | ⋯ | 1, 5 | 0, 4 |
| 97 | 99, 95 | 99, 95 | 99, 95 | 97, 97 | ⋯ | 1, 5 | 0, 4 |
| ⋮ | ⋮ | ⋮ | ⋮ | ⋮ | ⋱ | ⋮ | ⋮ |
| 3 | 5, 1 | 5, 1 | 5, 1 | 5, 1 | ⋯ | 3, 3 | 0, 4 |
| 2 | 4, 0 | 4, 0 | 4, 0 | 4, 0 | ⋯ | 4, 0 | 2, 2 |
Denoting by the set of strategies available to both players and by the payoff function of one of them we can write
(Note that the other player receives since the game is quantitatively symmetric).

Famous quotes containing the word matrix:
“In all cultures, the family imprints its members with selfhood. Human experience of identity has two elements; a sense of belonging and a sense of being separate. The laboratory in which these ingredients are mixed and dispensed is the family, the matrix of identity.”
—Salvador Minuchin (20th century)
