Solution concepts are a fundamental tool for the analysis of game-like systems, and as a consequence, much effort has been devoted to the problem of characterising solution concepts using logic. However, one problem is that, to characterise solution concepts such as Nash equilibrium, i t seems necessary to refer to strategies in the object language, which tends to co mplicate the object language. We propose a logic in which we can formulate important properties of games (and in particular pure-strategy solution concept s) without recourse to naming strategies in the object language. The idea is that in stead of using pred- icates which state that a particular collection of strategi es forms a solution, we define formulae of the logic that are true at a state if and only if this state con- stitutes a particular equilibrium outcome. We demonstrate the usefulness of the logic by model checking equilibria of strategic games. |
