"Stopping Games with Termination Rates", Joint with Catherine Rainer
Wednesday, 30 October 2024. 13:00-14:00
Room 411, Boyd Orr Building
Abstract
While two-player stopping games in continuous time admit an epsilon-equilibrium for every epsilon>0, as do three-player stopping games in discrete time, three-player stopping games in continuous time do not necessarily admit epsilon-equilibria when epsilon>0 is sufficiently small. In this project we explore why this happens, and we study stopping games where stopping is not instantaneous but rather nonatomic: if a player wants to stop at time t, the game terminates with probability of the order dt.
