Stochastic Games with General Payoff Functions
研究了有限玩家、有限动作、可数状态的多人随机博弈,其中每个玩家的收益是无限博弈路径的有界Borel可测函数。通过推广Martin及Maitra和Sudderth的技术,证明了四种存在性结果,包括每个玩家有保证收益的策略、策略组合使收益不低于minmax值、存在扩展式相关ε-均衡以及存在子博弈ε-均衡。
We consider multiplayer stochastic games with finitely many players and actions, and countably many states, in which the payoff of each player is a bounded and Borel-measurable function of the infinite play. By using a generalization of the technique of Martin [Martin DA (1998) The determinacy of Blackwell games. J. Symb. Log. 63(4):1565–1581] and Maitra and Sudderth [Maitra A, Sudderth W (1998) Finitely additive stochastic games with Borel measurable payoffs. Internat. J. Game Theory 27:257–267], we show four different existence results. In each stochastic game, it holds for every [Formula: see text] that (i) each player has a strategy that guarantees in each subgame that this player’s payoff is at least his or her maxmin value up to [Formula: see text], (ii) there exists a strategy profile under which in each subgame each player’s payoff is at least his or her minmax value up to [Formula: see text], (iii) the game admits an extensive-form correlated [Formula: see text]-equilibrium, and (iv) there exists a subgame that admits an [Formula: see text]-equilibrium.
