What is Nash Equilibrium

Handbook of Research on Green ICT: Technology, Business and Social Perspectives
A set of strategies is said to be in Nash Equilibrium if every player is playing his best strategy against the other players best strategies.

Abstract
Green ICT Practices fall in two different extremes of either only recommendations to reduce the resource usage such as electricity, or high level strategic management techniques such as Green Balanced Scorecard. The one extreme is very micro level operational approach and the other extreme is just paper strategies without a roadmap for total sustainability. This chapter proposes the enterprise architecture framework and mathematical model providing dynamic model for total sustainability. A brief description of currently popular Green ICT Metrics in practice is presented, together with a discussion of architectural frameworks providing three different architecture layers and a roadmap to achieve desirable “total sustainability indicator (TSI™) - a measurement framework based on mathematical models and game theory.

An Overview of Tourism Supply Chains Management and Optimization Models (TSCM – OM)
The result of a non-cooperative game involving two or more players, in which it is assumed that each player knows the equilibrium strategies of the other players, and no player has anything to gain by changing only their own strategy. If each player has selected a strategy and no player can benefit by changing strategies while the other players keep theirs unchanged, then the current set of strategy selections and the corresponding payoffs constitutes a Nash equilibrium. The reality of the Nash equilibrium of a game can be tested using experimental economics method. It can be applied in two loops ( Open Loop and Close Loop ).

Learning Nash Equilibria in Non-Cooperative Games
A solution concept of a game where no player can benefit by changing his strategy unilaterally, i.e. while the other players keep theirs unchanged; this set of strategies and the corresponding payoffs constitute a Nash Equilibrium of the game.

Wireless Technologies: Shifting into the Next Gear?
A Nash equilibrium of a strategic game is a profile of strategies , where (is the strategy set of player), such that for each player, and for every , where withbeing the strategies set of any other player but, and where stands for the utility (or payoff, or profits) each player derives as a function of his or her own chosen strategy and the strategy chosen by any other player. Another way to state the Nash equilibrium condition is that solves for each. In other words, in a Nash equilibrium, no player has an incentive to deviate from the strategy chosen, since no player can choose a better strategy given the choices of the other players.

Games of Strategy
A Nash Equilibrium, also called strategic equilibrium, is a list of strategies, one for each player, which has the property that no player can unilaterally change his strategy and get a better payoff.
