A payoff function for a player is a mapping from the cross-product of players' strategy spaces to that player's set of payoffs (normally the set of real numbers, where the number represents a cardinal or ordinal utility—often cardinal in the normal-form representation) of a player, i.e. the payoff function of a player takes as its input a ...
In game theory, a symmetric game is a game where the payoffs for playing a particular strategy depend only on the other strategies employed, not on who is playing them. If one can change the identities of the players without changing the payoff to the strategies, then a game is symmetric.
As seen by the payoff matrix, there is no dominant strategy in the volunteer's dilemma. In a mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium , an increase in N players will decrease the likelihood that at least one person volunteers, which is consistent with the bystander effect .
Payoff matrix: Template documentation. Usage. This template allows simple construction of 2-player, 2-strategy payoff matrices in game theory and other articles. ...
In game theory, an extensive-form game is a specification of a game allowing (as the name suggests) for the explicit representation of a number of key aspects, like the sequencing of players' possible moves, their choices at every decision point, the (possibly imperfect) information each player has about the other player's moves when they make a decision, and their payoffs for all possible ...
Risk dominance and payoff dominance are two related refinements of the Nash equilibrium (NE) solution concept in game theory, defined by John Harsanyi and Reinhard Selten.A Nash equilibrium is considered payoff dominant if it is Pareto superior to all other Nash equilibria in the game. 1 When faced with a choice among equilibria, all players would agree on the payoff dominant equilibrium since ...

Payoff functions, u: Assign a payoff to a player given their type and the action profile. A payoff function, u= (u 1 , . . . , u N ) denotes the utilities of player i Prior, p : A probability distribution over all possible type profiles, where p(t) = p(t 1 , . . . ,t N ) is the probability that Player 1 has type t 1 and Player N has type t N .
