Direct Evolutionary Search for Nash Equilibria Detection
Keywords:
Mixed form Nash equilibria, Evolutionary algorithms, generative relationAbstract
A Direct method of computing mixed form Nash equilibria of a normal form game by using a simple evolutionary algorithm is proposed. The Direct Evolutionary Search algorithm (DES) uses a generative relation for Nash equilibria with binary tournament selection and uniform mutation. Numerical experiments are used to illustrate the efficiency of the method.
