3 Rewards and Values Suppose the agent receives the sequence of rewards r 1, r 2, r 3, r 4,.... What value should be assigned? total reward V = i=1 r i average reward V = lim n discounted reward V = r r n n i=1 γi 1 r i γ is the discount factor 0 γ 1 Game Theory: Normal Form Games CPSC 322 Lecture 34, Slide 3
4 Policies A stationary policy is a function: π : S A Given a state s, π(s) specifies what action the agent who is following π will do. An optimal policy is one with maximum expected value we ll focus on the case where value is defined as discounted reward. For an MDP with stationary dynamics and rewards with infinite or indefinite horizon, there is always an optimal stationary policy in this case. Game Theory: Normal Form Games CPSC 322 Lecture 34, Slide 4
5 Value of a Policy Q π (s, a), where a is an action and s is a state, is the expected value of doing a in state s, then following policy π. V π (s), where s is a state, is the expected value of following policy π in state s. Q π and V π can be defined mutually recursively: V π (s) = Q π (s, π(s)) Q π (s, a) = s P (s a, s) ( r(s, a, s ) + γv π (s ) ) Game Theory: Normal Form Games CPSC 322 Lecture 34, Slide 5
6 Value of the Optimal Policy Q (s, a), where a is an action and s is a state, is the expected value of doing a in state s, then following the optimal policy. V (s), where s is a state, is the expected value of following the optimal policy in state s. Q and V can be defined mutually recursively: Q (s, a) = s P (s a, s) ( r(s, a, s ) + γv (s ) ) V (s) = max Q (s, a) a π (s) = arg max Q (s, a) a Game Theory: Normal Form Games CPSC 322 Lecture 34, Slide 6
7 Value Iteration Idea: Given an estimate of the k-step lookahead value function, determine the k + 1 step lookahead value function. Set V 0 arbitrarily. e.g., zeros Compute Q i+1 and V i+1 from V i : Q i+1 (s, a) = s P (s a, s) ( r(s, a, s ) + γv i (s ) ) V i+1 (s) = max Q i+1 (s, a) a If we intersect these equations at Q i+1, we get an update equation for V : V i+1 (s) = max P (s ( a, s) r(s, a, s ) + γv i (s ) ) a s Game Theory: Normal Form Games CPSC 322 Lecture 34, Slide 7

11 Non-Cooperative Game Theory What is it? mathematical study of interaction between rational, self-interested agents Game Theory: Normal Form Games CPSC 322 Lecture 34, Slide 10
12 Non-Cooperative Game Theory What is it? mathematical study of interaction between rational, self-interested agents Why is it called non-cooperative? Game Theory: Normal Form Games CPSC 322 Lecture 34, Slide 10
13 Non-Cooperative Game Theory What is it? mathematical study of interaction between rational, self-interested agents Why is it called non-cooperative? while it s most interested in situations where agents interests conflict, it s not restricted to these settings the key is that the individual is the basic modeling unit, and that individuals pursue their own interests cooperative/coalitional game theory has teams as the central unit, rather than agents You can think of a non-cooperative game as a decision diagram where different agents control different decision nodes, and where each agent has his own utility node. Game Theory: Normal Form Games CPSC 322 Lecture 34, Slide 10
14 TCP Backoff Game Should you send your packets using correctly-implemented TCP (which has a backoff mechanism) or using a defective implementation (which doesn t)? Consider this situation as a two-player game: both use a correct implementation: both get 1 ms delay one correct, one defective: 4 ms delay for correct, 0 ms for defective both defective: both get a 3 ms delay. Game Theory: Normal Form Games CPSC 322 Lecture 34, Slide 11
15 TCP Backoff Game Consider this situation as a two-player game: both use a correct implementation: both get 1 ms delay one correct, one defective: 4 ms delay for correct, 0 ms for defective both defective: both get a 3 ms delay. Questions: What action should a player of the game take? Would all users behave the same in this scenario? What global patterns of behaviour should the system designer expect? Under what changes to the delay numbers would behavior be the same? What effect would communication have? Repetitions? (finite? infinite?) Does it matter if I believe that my opponent is rational? Game Theory: Normal Form Games CPSC 322 Lecture 34, Slide 11
16 Defining Games Finite, n-person game: N, A, u : N is a finite set of n players, indexed by i A = A1,..., A n is a set of actions for each player i a A is an action profile u = {u 1,..., u n }, a utility function for each player, where u i : A R Writing a 2-player game as a matrix: row player is player 1, column player is player 2 rows are actions a A1, columns are a A 2 cells are outcomes, written as a tuple of utility values for each player Game Theory: Normal Form Games CPSC 322 Lecture 34, Slide 12

To fully understand the role of the payoff numbers we would need to enter into a discussion of utility theory. Here, let us just mention that for most purposes, the analysis of any game is unchanged if the payoff numbers undergo any positive affine Game Theory: Normal Form Games CPSC 322 Lecture 34, Slide 15
21 Games of Pure Competition Players have exactly opposed interests There must be precisely two players (otherwise they can t have exactly opposed interests) For all action profiles a A, u 1 (a) + u 2 (a) = c for some constant c Special case: zero sum Thus, we only need to store a utility function for one player Game Theory: Normal Form Games CPSC 322 Lecture 34, Slide 16

Matching A classical Pennies example of a zero-sum game is the game of matching pennies. In this game, each of the two players has a penny, and independently chooses to display either heads or tails. The two players then compare their pennies. If they are the same then player 1 pockets both, and otherwise player 2 pockets them. The payoff matrix is shown One in Figure player 3.5. wants to match; the other wants to mismatch. Heads Tails Heads 1 1 Tails 1 1 Figure 3.5 Matching Pennies game. The popular children s game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, also known as Rochambeau, provides a three-strategy generalization of the matching-pennies game.

25 Games of Cooperation Players have exactly the same interests. no conflict: all players want the same things a A, i, j, u i (a) = u j (a) we often write such games with a single payoff per cell why are such games noncooperative? Game Theory: Normal Form Games CPSC 322 Lecture 34, Slide 19

Coordination Because of theirgame special nature, we often represent common value games with an abbreviated form of the matrix in which we list only one payoff in each of the cells. As an example, imagine two drivers driving towards each other in a country without traffic rules, and who must independently decide whether to drive on the left or on the right. If the players choose the same side (left or right) they have some high utility, and otherwise Which they side have ofathe lowroad utility. should The game you matrix drive on? is shown in Figure 3.4.
