Abstract

In this paper, we study minimax regret equilibria. First, existence theorem of minimax regret equilibria is proved. Further, the generic stability of minimax regret equilibria is studied. We show that the set of minimax regret equilibria for most of problems (in sense of Baire category) is a singleton set. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. 2012
