Games with unique solutions that are nonconvex

William Franklin Lucas

Vol. 28 (1969), No. 3, 599–602
Abstract

In 1944 von Neumann and Morgenstern introduced a theory of solutions (stable sets) for n-person games in characteristic function form. This paper describes an eight-person game in their model which has a unique solution that is nonconvex. Former results in solution theory had not indicated that the set of all solutions for a game should be of this nature.
