In game theory, folk theorems are a class of theorems describing an abundance of Nash equilibrium payoff profiles in repeated games (Friedman 1971). [1] The original Folk Theorem concerned the payoffs of all the Nash equilibria of an infinitely repeated game.
John Harsanyi – equilibrium theory (Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1994) Monika Henzinger – algorithmic game theory and information retrieval; John Hicks – general equilibrium theory (including Kaldor–Hicks efficiency) Naira Hovakimyan – differential games and adaptive control; Peter L.

While teaching at Berkeley, Harsanyi did extensive research in game theory. Harold Kuhn, who had been John von Neumann's student in Princeton and already had games theory publications encouraged him in this. The work for which he won the 1994 Nobel Prize in economics was a series of articles published in 1967 and 1968 which established what has ...
A prototypical paper on game theory in economics begins by presenting a game that is an abstraction of a particular economic situation. One or more solution concepts are chosen, and the author demonstrates which strategy sets in the presented game are equilibria of the appropriate type.
Theory of Games and Economic Behavior, published in 1944 [1] by Princeton University Press, is a book by mathematician John von Neumann and economist Oskar Morgenstern which is considered the groundbreaking text that created the interdisciplinary research field of game theory.
Determined game (or Strictly determined game) In game theory, a strictly determined game is a two-player zero-sum game that has at least one Nash equilibrium with both players using pure strategies. [2] [3] Dictator A player is a strong dictator if he can guarantee any outcome regardless of the other players.
A tutelary (/ ˈ tj uː t ə l ɛ r i /; also tutelar) is a deity or a spirit who is a guardian, patron, or protector of a particular place, geographic feature, person, lineage, nation, culture, or occupation. The etymology of "tutelary" expresses the concept of safety and thus of guardianship.
Folk theorem or folklore theorem may refer to: Mathematical folklore, theorems that are widely known to mathematicians but cannot be traced back to an individual; Folk theorem (game theory), a general feasibility theorem; Ethnomathematics, the study of the relationship between mathematics and culture
