jlgametheory

Python interface to GameTheory.jl

jlgametheory is a Python package that allows passing a NormalFormGame instance from QuantEcon.py to GameTheory.jl functions via JuliaCall.

Implemented functions

• lrsnash: Compute in exact arithmetic all extreme mixed-action Nash equilibria of a 2-player normal form game with integer payoffs.
• hc_solve: Compute all isolated mixed-action Nash equilibria of an N-player normal form game.

Example usage

import quantecon.game_theory as gt
import jlgametheory as jgt

lrsnash

lrsnash calls the Nash equilibrium computation routine in lrslib (through its Julia wrapper LRSLib.jl):

bimatrix = [[(3, 3), (3, 2)],
            [(2, 2), (5, 6)],
            [(0, 3), (6, 1)]]
g = gt.NormalFormGame(bimatrix)
jgt.lrsnash(g)

[(array([Fraction(4, 5), Fraction(1, 5), Fraction(0, 1)], dtype=object),
  array([Fraction(2, 3), Fraction(1, 3)], dtype=object)),
 (array([Fraction(0, 1), Fraction(1, 3), Fraction(2, 3)], dtype=object),
  array([Fraction(1, 3), Fraction(2, 3)], dtype=object)),
 (array([Fraction(1, 1), Fraction(0, 1), Fraction(0, 1)], dtype=object),
  array([Fraction(1, 1), Fraction(0, 1)], dtype=object))]

hc_solve

hc_solve computes all isolated Nash equilibria of an N-player game by using HomotopyContinuation.jl:

g = gt.NormalFormGame((2, 2, 2))
g[0, 0, 0] = 9, 8, 12
g[1, 1, 0] = 9, 8, 2
g[0, 1, 1] = 3, 4, 6
g[1, 0, 1] = 3, 4, 4
jgt.hc_solve(g)

[(array([0., 1.]), array([0., 1.]), array([1., 0.])),
 (array([0.5, 0.5]), array([0.5, 0.5]), array([1.000e+00, 2.351e-38])),
 (array([1., 0.]), array([0., 1.]), array([-1.881e-37,  1.000e+00])),
 (array([0.25, 0.75]), array([0.5, 0.5]), array([0.333, 0.667])),
 (array([0.25, 0.75]), array([1.000e+00, 1.345e-43]), array([0.25, 0.75])),
 (array([0., 1.]), array([0.333, 0.667]), array([0.333, 0.667])),
 (array([1., 0.]), array([ 1.00e+00, -5.74e-42]), array([1., 0.])),
 (array([0., 1.]), array([1., 0.]), array([2.374e-66, 1.000e+00])),
 (array([0.5, 0.5]), array([0.333, 0.667]), array([0.25, 0.75]))]
