Repeated Games with Tail-Measurable Payoffs

Abstract

We study multiplayer Blackwell games, which are repeated games where the payoff of each player is a bounded and Borel-measurable function of the infinite stream of actions played by the players during the game. These games are an extension of the two-player perfect-information games studied by David Gale and Frank Stewart (1953). Recently, various new ideas have been discovered to study Blackwell games. In this paper, we give an overview of these ideas by proving, in four different ways, that Blackwell games with a finite number of players, finite action sets, and tailmeasurable payoffs admit an ε-equilibrium, for all ε > 0.
