Discounted, positive, and noncooperative stochastic games

TLDR
In this article, the stochastic games of Shapley were considered and it was shown that under certain conditions, the game has a value and both players have an optimal strategy.
Abstract
In this paper, we consider the stochastic games ofShapley and prove under certain conditions the stochastic game has a value and both players have optimal strategies. We also prove a similar result for noncooperative stochastic games.

Perfect equilibrium in non-randomized strategies in a class of symmetric dynamic games☆

TL;DR: In this paper, a class of infinite-horizon dynamic games is considered and it is shown that the game admits a subgame-perfect equilibrium in non-randomized Markovian strategies.

Existence of p-equilibrium and optimal stationary strategies in stochastic games

TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of p-equilibrium stationary strategies for non-zero-sum stochastic games is proved for both positive and discounted zero-sum games when the state space is infinite.

Stochastic Games

TL;DR: In a stochastic game the play proceeds by steps from position to position, according to transition probabilities controlled jointly by the two players, and the expected total gain or loss is bounded by M, which depends on N 2 + N matrices.

Some topics in two-person games

TL;DR: In this article, several loosely-related essays on the theory of finite, two-person games are presented, with an emphasis on features of the theory that depend only on the ordering of the payoffs, as opposed to their numerical values.
