Calculate the maximin and minimax -- if they are equal, you have found the proper strategies and the value of the game. If they are unequal, go on to step 2. 2. Eliminate all strategies that are dominated. 3. Assign probabilities to each of your strategies so that the outcome of the...
Game theory has two decision theorems known as maximin and minimax (Mazalov 2014). The minimax theorem minimizes the loss of a player. The maximin theorem used to maximize the benefit gain by the player. Games taxonomy We saw different types of games in the literature review. These games wer...
The saddlepoint is the of the game, because each player can guarantee at least this value by playing his/her maximin and minimax strategies. However, not every game has a saddlepoint. Games which do not will be studied in the next section. Game Theory: The Mathematics of Competition 353...
to each other, the solution to each providing that to the other. Although Topsøe described this connection for the Shan- non entropy over 20 years ago, it does not appear to be widely known even in that important special case. We here generalize this theory to apply to arbitrary decision...
To solve a two-person, zero-sum game, following this procedure: 1. Calculate the maximin and minimax -- if they are equal, you have found the proper strategies and the value of the game. If they are unequal, go on to step 2. 2. Eliminate all strategies that are dominated. 3. Assig...
Evaluation: homeworks (every two weeks), midterm exam, final exam, class project Outline:1) Strategic-form games and solution concepts -- pure vs. mixed strategies, dominance, best response, Nash equilibrium, zero-sum games, minimax/maximin, evolutionarily stable strategies2) Extensive-form games...
We examine maximin and minimax strategies for players in a two-players game with two strategic variables, x and p. We consider two patterns of game; one is the x-game in which the strategic variables of players are x's, and the other is the p-game in which the strategic variables of...
game theory n. A mathematical method of decision-making in which a competitive situation is analyzed to determine the optimal course of action for an interested party, often used in political, economic, and military planning. Also calledtheory of games. ...
