Exercises#
Below, we have several practice problems and solutions. All of them can be solved down to a single Equilbrium Pair by using Reduction by Dominance.
Exercise 1
Find the equilibrium pair by reducing the matrix game by dominance.
\(\begin{array}{cc}&\text{Colin}\\\text{Rose}&\begin{array}{r|rrr}&A&B&C\\ \hline A&-2&-4&10\\ B&-1&2&7\\ C&5&5&9\\\end{array}\end{array}\)
Solution
Exercise 2
