A Logic of Knowledge and Strategies with Imperfect Information
... In this paper we advance the state-of-the-art in Epistemic Strategy Logic by exploring the theoretical properties of ESL in contexts of imperfect information. Specifically, we analyse and compare the expressive power of ESL as a specification language for games, both of perfect and imperfect informa ...

Cost function for each player i is defined as follows: ci : S → R Nash-Equilibrium is a state when none of the players can increase his utility by a one-sided deviation, if all others remain in their previous choice. Let’s assume that we have ...
