Title
Subgame-Perfect Equilibria for Stochastic Games
Abstract
For an n-person stochastic game with Borel state space S and compact metric action sets A1, A2,..., An, sufficient conditions are given for the existence of subgame-perfect equilibria. One result is that such equilibria exist if the law of motion q(...∣ s, a) is, for fixed s, continuous in a = (a1,a2,...,an) for the total variation norm and the payoff functions f1, f2,...,fn are bounded, Borel measurable functions of the sequence of states (s1, s2,...) ∈ SN and, in addition, are continuous when SN is given the product of discrete topologies on S.
