Index and Stability in Bimatrix Games [electronic resource] : A Geometric-Combinatorial Approach /
Schemde, H. Arndt von.author.
The index of an equilibrium in a game gives information about the ""stability"" of the equilibrium, for example with respect to game dynamics. Unfortunately, index theory is often very technical. This book presents a new geometric construction that visualises the index in an intuitive way. For example, a 3C B C B C B C B C B C B C B C B n game, for any n, can be represented by a figure in the plane, from which one can read off any equilibrium, and its index as a geometric orientation. With this insight, the index can be characterised in strategic terms alone. Moreover, certain ""hyperstable""
