Normal form representation The normal form representation of a static game of complete information is given by: (a) a set of players identified by number (1, 2, ...,I], where I is the number of players; (b) a set of actions or strategies for each player i denoted S. This is simple the list of permissible actions player i can take; (c)a payoff function for each player Ti( s), which gives player is payoff for each strategy profile or play of the game, s=(S, S2,. s), where s, is the action taken by player i. The strategy taken by player must be allowed this means that it must be from the set or list of permissible actions, S form can be represented using a payoff matrix. The al For 2-player games with finite strategy sets, the nor convention is that the first number is the payoff to player 1 the row player) and the second number is the payoff from that strategy profile for player 2( the column player)Normal form representation • The normal form representation of a static game of complete information is given by: (a) a set of players, identified by number {1, 2, …, I}, where I is the number of players; (b) a set of actions or strategies for each player i, denoted Si . This is simple the list of permissible actions player i can take; (c) a payoff function for each player i, πi (s), which gives player i’s payoff for each strategy profile or play of the game, s=(s1 , s2 , …, sI ), where si is the action taken by player i. The strategy taken by player i must be allowed; this means that it must be from the set or list of permissible actions, Si . • For 2-player games with finite strategy sets, the normal form can be represented using a payoff matrix. The convention is that the first number is the payoff to player 1 (the row player) and the second number is the payoff from that strategy profile for player 2 (the column player)
