2. Justify why the following correlated strategy is a correlated equilibrium without computation
C K
C 0 1/2
K 1/2 0
C K
C 1/3 1/3
K 1/3 0
(Hint: Check only deviation of Player 1 and admits that by symmetry this is also true for
Player 2.)
4. Compare the vector of payoff between the two correlated equilibrium and the NE where
both strategies are played.
5. Conclude.

Exercise 3. We consider the following symmetric game variant non zero-sum games of Rock-
Paper-Scissors where ties are rewarded
R P S
R 0,0 1,4 4,1
P 4,1 0,0 1,4
S 1,4 4,1 0,0
1. What is the unique Nash equilibrium (no proof necessary) and its payoff vector.
2. By taking inspiration from the slides, propose a correlated strategy that could be a correlated
equilibrium.
3. Check if it is indeed.
Exercise 6. We consider the following symmetric game variant non zero-sum games of Rock-
Paper-Scissors where ties are rewarded
R P S
R 1,1 2,-2 -2,2
P 2,-2 1,1 -2,2
S -2,2 2,-2 1,1
Exercise(*) 7. We consider the following symmetric game variant non zero-sum games of
Rock-Paper-Scissors where ties are rewarded

2. Check that (1/3, 1/3, 1/3) is a Nash-equilibrium.
3. When there exists a pure equilibrium, determine if they are ESS (distinguish x = 1 and
x > 1).
