Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, we assume that the players are altruistic in strategy-form games. Following the idea, we introduce the altruistic games and altruistic generalized games with preference correspondences, and prove the existence theorems of altruistic equilibria. As applications, we obtain the existence theorems of altruistic equilibria for normal-form games and generalized games.

Key words: altruistic game, altruistic equilibria, preference correspondence, external preference
