Understanding some recent existence results for discontinuous games (Q639888)

The author introduces the notion of a weak better-reply security, which provides that each game satisfying it can be approximated by a well-behaved game (in the sense that a fixed point argument can be used to establish the existence of approximate equilibria) in such a way that limit points of approximate equilibria of the approximating game are themselves Nash equilibria of the original game. It is shown that every compact, quasiconcave game satisfying a weak better-reply security condition has a Nash equilibrium.
