Consider the two-person, zero-sum game having the following payoff table. Player 2 Strategy نیا نیا Player 1 یہ نم دیا با را (a) Assuming this is a stable game, use the minimax (or maximin) criterion to determine the best strategy for each player. Does this game have a saddle point? If so, identify it. Is this a stable game?
11. Consider the two-person, zero-sum game having the following payoff table for Player A S1 89 13 S2 15 13 8 S 14 157 (a) Does this game have a saddle point? If so, identify it. (b) Formulate the problem of finding the optimal strategy for Player A according to the maximin criterion as a linear programming problem. Explain the interpretation of your decision variables
Consider the following reward matrix for a two-person zero-sum game: 9 0 6 3 2 4 3 1 5 (a) Find optimal strategies for both the row and column players. (b) What is the value of the game to the column player?. (c) Who is favoured by the game?
Consider the competitive, static, one-time game depicted in the following figure. If larger payoffs are preferred, does either player have a dominant strategy? If B believes that A will move A1, how should B move? If B believes that A will move A2, how should B move? What is the Nash equilibrium strategy profile if this game is played just once? What is the strategy profile for this game if both players adopt a secure strategy? What strategy profile results...

A two-player zero sum game in which [Si] = n for i = 1, 2 is called symmetric if A, the payoff matrix for Player 1 satisfies A = -AT. (a) In linear algebra, how do we classify A when A = -AT? (b) Does this definition of symmetric match the traditional definition of a symmetric game? Explain. (c) Suppose x is an optimal maximin strategy for Player 1 in a symmetric zero-sum game. Prove x is an optimal maximin...

QUESTION 8 Consider a game with two players, players and player 2. Player 1's strategies are up and down, and player 2's strategies are left and right. Suppose that player 1's payoff function is such that for any combination of the players chosen strategies, player 1 always receives a payoff equal to 0. Suppose further that player 2's payoff function is such that no two combinations of the players' chosen strategies ever give player 2 the same payoff Choose the...
