Straight-line strategy leads to rare strong Nash equilibria in games.
The article discusses strong Nash equilibria in games with mixed strategies. The main finding is that in games with two players, if there is a strong Nash equilibrium, the payoff pairs are on a straight line. This means that games with strong Nash equilibria where at least one player uses mixed strategies are very rare. The same rarity holds for games with more than two players. Additionally, in strong Nash equilibria, outcomes that are not the best for everyone can still happen sometimes.
