摘要:
We prove that any strictly competitive perfect-information two-person game with n outcomes is solvable in n-1 steps of elimination of weakly dominated strategies-regardless of the length of the game tree. The given bound is shown to be tight using a variant of Rosenthal's centipede game. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).
