Abstract

This paper presents existence conditions as well as computation methods for Berge equilibrium and two refinements: Berge-Vaisman equilibrium and Berge-Nash equilibrium. Each equilibrium concept is interpreted and illustrated on the basis of relevant examples and general existence conditions satisfying weak continuity and quasi-concavity conditions are provided.
