Finite Two-Person Games

Hans Peters

Chapter 3 in Game Theory, 2015, pp 37-49 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we consider two-player games where each player chooses from finitely many pure strategies or randomizes among these strategies. In contrast to Chap. 2 it is no longer required that the sum of the players’ payoffs is zero (or, equivalently, constant). This allows for a much larger class of games, including many games relevant for economic or other applications. Famous examples are the Prisoners’ Dilemma and the Battle of the Sexes discussed in Sect. 1.3.2
