Abstract

We study two natural problems about rational behaviors in multiplayer non-zero-sum sequential infinite duration games played on graphs: checking problems, that consist in deciding whether a strategy profile, defined by a Mealy machine, is rational; and rational verification, that consists in deciding whether all the rational answers to a given strategy satisfy some specification. We give the complexities of those problems for two major concepts of rationality: Nash equilibria and subgame-perfect equilibria, and for five major classes of payoff functions: parity, mean-payoff, quantitative reachability, energy, and discounted-sum.
