Convex Game

A convex game has strategy sets $S_i$ and payoff functions $G_i$ satisfying:

  1. each $S_i$ is a compact convex subset of a Euclidean space;
  2. $G_i(\cdot,s_{-i})$ is concave on $S_i$ for every $s_{-i}$;
  3. $\sum_i G_i$ is continuous on $S=\prod_i S_i$;
  4. $G_i(s_i,\cdot)$ is continuous on $S_{-i}$ for every $s_i$.
