Abstract

We apply the theoretical results on ``stochastic approximations and differential inclusions'' developed in Benaïm Hofbauer and Sorin (2003) to several adaptive processes used in game theory including: classical and generalized approachability, no-regrets procedures (Hart and Mas-Colell), smooth fictitious play (Fudenberg and Levine)
