CMSC 477/677: Game Theory Review Assignment
Answer the following questions for each of the games listed below.
Assume there is no communication amongst the agents (other than seeing the other agents choice).
Questions:
- What is the payoff for each agent if agent A defects and agent B cooperates?
- What are the pure strategy Nash equilibria?
- What would be the best strategy if the agent wanted to maximize its own score?
- What would be the best strategy if the agents wanted to maximize their combined score?
- Come up with a short real world example that would be represented by this game.
