Questions
2.1. Follow the example in figure 2.18 to find equilibrium of dominating strategies
in the gain matrix.
1.

2 x2 y2
1
x1 (1, 5) (-2, 4)
y1 (3, 4) (-1, 2)
Answer:
• Player 1 → 3 > 1 and -1 > -2, y1 is dominating
• Player 2 → 5 > 4 and 4 > 2, x2 is dominating
• (y1, x2) is an equilibrium of dominating strategies
2.

2 x2 y2 z2
1
x1 (9, 5) (0, 6) (-2, 4)
y1 (3, 2) (-1, 3) (-3, -1)
Answer:
• Player 1 → 9 > 3 , 0 > -1, and -2 > -3, x1 is dominating
• Player 2 → 6 > 5 > 4 and 3 > 2 > -1, y2 is dominating
• (x1, y2) is an equilibrium of dominating strategies
3.

2 x2 y2 z2
1
x1 (1, 5) (-4, 6) (5, 4)
y1 (0, 2) (-2, 3) (-3, -1)
z1 (3, 1) (-1, 3) (10, -1)
Answer:
• Player 1 → 3 > 1 > 0, -1 > -2 > -4, and 10 > 5 > -3
• Player 2 → 6 > 5 > 4, 3 > 2 > -1, and 3 > 1 > -1
• (z1, y2) is an equilibrium of dominating strategies
2.4. Find the Nash Equilibrium in gain matrix in Figure 2.21
1.

2 x2 y2
1
x1 (-1, 3) (9, 4)
y1 (0, 0) (2, 3)
The Nash Equilibrium is (x1, y2) because (x1, y2) is the best response for both players
2.

2 x2 y2 z2
1
x1 (2, 1) (0, 2) (-2, 0)
y1 (3, 9) (-1, 3) (2, 8)
The Nash Equilibrium is (y1,x2) and (x1,y2) because this is the best response for both
players
3.

2 x2 y2
1
x1 (2, 2) (9, 2)
y1 (2, 4) (-1, 2)
The Nash Equilibrium is (y1, x2) and (x1, y2) because this is the best response for both
players
4.

2
x2 y2 z2
1
x1 (1, 5) (3, 6) (2, 4)
y1 (2, 2) (2, 1) (3, 3)
z1 (3, 1) (1, 9) (2, 7)
The Nash Equilibrium is (x1, y2) and (y1, z2) because this is the best response for both
players
