Weakly Acyclic Games Unlock Stable Equilibria, Transforming Strategic Interactions
The article explores a type of games called weakly acyclic games, which are used to model real-world scenarios. These games ensure that players can always make better moves until they reach a winning strategy. The researchers found that if every small part of a game has only one winning strategy, then the whole game will also have a clear winner. However, if there are several possible winning strategies in each part, it doesn't always lead to an overall clear outcome. This linkage helps understand how games work in different situations, depending on how the rules are set.
