New approach to counting Nash equilibria Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Methods that lead to the fastest algorithm for real solving, finding the solutions to a system of polynomial equations, are presented. Finding the real solutions of a polynomial system is an important fundamental problem not only in computational algebraic geometry but also in economic modeling. Finding Nash equilibria in certain game-theoretic economic models leads directly to real-solving. Algorithms for solving a polynomial problem, which is related to counting certain Nash equilibria, are discussed. These algorithms are extended to count all affine roots in matrices.
