pygambit.nash.lcp_solve(game: Game, rational: bool = True, use_strategic: bool = False, stop_after: int | None = None, max_depth: int | None = None) NashComputationResult#

Compute Nash equilibria of a two-player game using linear complementarity programming.

Parameters:
  • game (Game) – The game to compute equilibria in.

  • rational (bool, default True) – Compute using rational numbers. If False, using floating-point arithmetic. Using rationals is more precise, but slower.

  • use_strategic (bool, default False) – Whether to use the strategic form. If True, always uses the strategic representation even if the game’s native representation is extensive.

  • stop_after (int, optional) – Maximum number of equilibria to compute. If not specified, computes all accessible equilibria.

  • max_depth (int, optional) – Maximum depth of recursion. If specified, will limit the recursive search, but may result in some accessible equilibria not being found.

Returns:

res – The result represented as a NashComputationResult object.

Return type:

NashComputationResult

Raises:

RuntimeError – If game has more than two players.
