TLDR
In this article, the existence of Nash equilibrium distributions and the closed graph property of the equilibrium distribution correspondence were proved for anonymous games with compact metric action spaces and payoff functions which are upper semicontinuous but not necessarily lower semicointinuous, under the supremum norm topology on the space of payoff functions and a tightness assumption on the game.

TL;DR: In this article, the existence of pure-strategy Nash equilibria in games with an atomless continuum of players, each with an action set that is not necessarily finite.

Lectures on Young measure theory and its applications in economics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a transfer of the classical theory of narrow convergence from the domain of probabilities to the more general domain of transition probabilities by means of Kconvergence and an associated key Prohorovtype extension of Komlos theorem Theorem, which applies much more generally than displayed here to certain classes of abstractvalued scalarly integrable functions.

A unifying pair of Cournot-Nash equilibrium existence results

TL;DR: A tandem pair, consisting of a mixed and a pure Cournot–Nash equilibrium existence result, is presented, which provides a unifying pair of Cournot-Nash existence results that goes considerably beyond the central result of E. Balder.

Large Games with a Bio-Social Typology

TL;DR: This work addresses dissonance arising from the use of a Lebesgue interval for playerʼs names by showing a saturated probability space as being a necessary and sufficient name-space for the existence and upper hemi-continuity of pure-strategy Nash equilibria in large games with traits.

The Existence of Equilibrium in Discontinuous Economic Games, I: Theory

TL;DR: In this article, the existence of Nash equilibrium in games where agents' payoff functions are discontinuous is investigated, and it is shown that the payoff functions in mildly modified versions of these constructs exhibit two weaker forms of continuity which, together with the requirement of quasi-concavity, suffice for the presence of an equilibrium.
