subgame perfectness as an equilibrium selection criterion, since weakly dominated strategies are actually used. We report on …

behavior is often considered to challenge the relevance of subgame perfectness as an equilibrium selection criterion, since …

that such a type of equilibrium is not subgame perfect, we introduce a weaker definition of subgame perfectness, which we … call ε-subgame perfectness. This new definition can be applied to the open-loop Stackelberg equilibrium of a constrained … linear-state game. Finally, we present some explanatory examples to show how the definition of ε-subgame perfectness can be …
