This paper examines zero-sum games that are based on a cyclic preference relation defined over undistinguished actions. For each of these games, the set of Nash equilibria is characterized. When the number of actions is odd, a unique Nash equilibrium is always obtained. On the other hand, in the...

The present work characterizes the unique Nash equilibrium for games that are based on a cyclic preference relation. In the Nash equilibrium of these games, each player randomizes between three specific actions. In particular, an alternative way of deriving the unique Nash equilibrium of the...

Each period, one outcome out of finitely many possibilities is observed. Each period, a forecaster announces some probability for the future outcomes based on the available data. An outsider wants to know if the forecaster has some knowledge of the data generating process. Let a test be an...

Von Neumann proved the minimax theorem (existence of a saddle-point solution to 2 person, zero sum games) in 1928. While his second article on the minimax theorem, stating the proof, has long been translated from German, his first announcement of his result (communicated in French to the Academy...

We study a one-dimensional voting game in which voters choose a policy from a one-dimensional policy set over which voters have single-peaked preferences. The purpose of this paper is to analyze coalitional behaviors under any given voting mechanism. We employ the notion of strong Nash...

In this paper we discuss the level set method of Joó and how to use it to give an elementary proof of the well-known Sion’s minimax result. Although this proof technique is initiated by Joó and based on the inter-section of upper level sets and a clever use of the topological notion of...

In this paper, we presented new and important existence theorems of solution for quasi-equilibrium problems, and we show the uniqueness of its solution which is also a fixed point of some mapping. We also show that this unique solution can be obtained by Picard’s iteration method. We also get...

Motivated by the Suzuki’s type fixed point theorems, we give several new existence theorems for scalar quasi-equilibrium problems, and vector quasi-equilibrium problem on complete metric spaces. We give important examples for our results. Note that the solution of quasi-equilibrium problem...
