Some notes on possibilistic randomisation with t-norm based joint distributions in strategic-form games

This article continues the investigation started in [18] on the role of possibilistic mixed strategies in strategic-form games. In this earlier work we assumed, as standard in possibility theory, that joint possibility distributions were computed by combining possibilistic mixed strategies with the minimum t-norm. In this paper, we investigate the consequences of defining joint possibility distributions by using any continuous t-norm, with players' expected utilities based on the Choquet integral. We characterise under which conditions a pair of possibilistic mixed strategies is an equilibrium, generalising the results first presented in [18], and also show that the set of equilibria in possibilistic mixed strategies depends on the set of idempotent elements of a t-norm and not just on the chosen t-norm.

Abstract

This article continues the investigation started in [18] on the role of possibilistic mixed strategies in strategic-form games. In this earlier work we assumed, as standard in possibility theory, that joint possibility distributions were computed by combining possibilistic mixed strategies with the minimum t-norm. In this paper, we investigate the consequences of defining joint possibility distributions by using any continuous t-norm, with players' expected utilities based on the Choquet integral. We characterise under which conditions a pair of possibilistic mixed strategies is an equilibrium, generalising the results first presented in [18], and also show that the set of equilibria in possibilistic mixed strategies depends on the set of idempotent elements of a t-norm and not just on the chosen t-norm.
