You have probably had the experience of trying to avoid encountering someone, whom we will call Rocky. In this instance, Rocky is trying to find you. It is Saturday night and you are choosing which of two possible parties to attend. You like Party 1 better and, if Rocky goes to the other party, you get a payoff 20 at Party 1. If Rocky attends Party 1, however, you are going to be uncomfortable and get a payoff of 5. Similarly, Party 2 gives you a payoff of 15, unless Rocky attends, in which case the payoff is 0. Rocky likes Party 2 better, but he is likes you. He values Party 2 at 10, Party 1 at 5, and your presence at either party that he attends is worth an additional payoff of 10. You and Rocky both know each others strategy space (which party to attend) and payoffs functions.
- (ii) A mixed strategy profile (p, q) is one in which p = (p,P2.... P) is the mixed strategy of player 1, and q- (g1, q2,..q4) is the mixed strategy of player 2. Show that if p, >0 in a Nash equilibrium profile (p*, q*), the player 2 must also play i with strictly positive probability q'; > 0. (State clearly any theorem you use to show this. You are not required to justify the theorem.) %3DPlayers 1, 2, and 3 are playing a game in which the strategy of player i isdenoted yi and can be any nonnegative real number. The payoff function for player 1 is V1(y1,y2,y3) = y1 + y1y2 - (y1)2,for player 2 is V2(y1,y2,y3) = y2 + y1y2 - (y2)2,and for player 3 is V3(y1,y2,y3) = (10 - y1 - y2 - y3)y3.These payoff functions are hill shaped. Find a Nash equilibrium. (Hint: Thepayoff functions are symmetric for players 1 and 2.)Consider the Stackelberg game depicted below in which you are the row player. R U 4,0 1,2 3,2 0,1 0,0 2,0 You may choose whether you want to be the leader (and commit to a possibly mixed strategy) or the follower in a game against the course staff (column player). You may trust that we maximize our expected payoff. The points awarded to you will equal one half of the expected payoff you obtain. If you want to be the leader, please submit your commitment strategy. For example, if you want to commit to [0.5: U, 0.2: M, 0.3: D], then submit: 0.5 0.2 0.3 If you want to be the follower instead, just submit: F
