The prisoner's dilemma is a fundamental concept in non-cooperative game theory that illustrates a situation where two individuals, acting in their self-interest, may not cooperate even if it appears that it would be beneficial for both. In the classic scenario, two prisoners must decide whether to betray each other or remain silent; if both betray, they receive moderate sentences, but if both remain silent, they receive lighter sentences. The dilemma arises because mutual betrayal leads to a worse outcome than mutual cooperation, yet each prisoner has an incentive to betray to avoid the worst-case scenario. This situation highlights the challenges of cooperation in competitive environments.

What is cooperative games?

Cooperative games are a type of game theory where players can benefit from forming coalitions and working together to achieve better outcomes than they would individually. The focus is on how groups of players can collaborate, share resources, and strategize to maximize their collective payoffs. Unlike non-cooperative games, where players act independently, cooperative games emphasize the importance of collaboration and the distribution of benefits among participants. The analysis often involves concepts such as the core, Shapley value, and Nash bargaining solution to evaluate fair allocation of gains.
