Abstract

We study a generalization of hide and seek game of von Neumann [14], where each player has one or more resources. We characterize the value and Nash equilibria of such games in terms of their unidimensional marginal distributions. We propose a \(\mathcal {O}(n \log (n))\) time algorithm for computing unidimensional marginal distributions of equilibrium strategies and a quadratic time algorithm for computing mixed strategies given the margins. The characterization allows us to establish a number of interesting qualitative features of equilibria.

Fußnoten
1
Throughout the paper, given a positive integer m we will follow the usual practice of using [m] to denote the set \(\{1,\ldots ,m\}\).
 
2
The system of equations can be easily used to obtain full characterization in the cases with multiple equilibria. We decided to leave it out of the paper due to presentation considerations.
