6 The Mixing Problem: Purification and Conjectures
... this problem is perfectly general. By the Fundamental Theorem (2.5), any mixed strategy best response consists of equal-payoff pure strategies, so why should a player bother randomizing? Moreover, this argument holds for all other players as well. Therefore, no player should expect any other player ...

... A very important property of mixed best responses is that they are always probability distributions over pure best responses. Lemma 1.15. A mixed strategy σi is a best-response strategy against σ−i if and only if every strategy in the support of σi , i.e., every sj ∈ Si with σi,sj > 0, is a best res ...

... • Is there any integer k such that the strategy profile (k, k, k), in which every person announces the same integer k, is a Nash equilibrium? (if k ≥ 2, what happens if a person announces a smaller number?) • Is any other strategy profile a Nash Equilibrium? (what is the payoff of a person whose num ...

... • Above the kink, demand is relatively elastic because all other firm’s prices remain unchanged. Below the kink, demand is relatively inelastic because all other firms will introduce a similar price cut, eventually leading to a price war. Therefore, the best option for the oligopolist is to produce ...
