## Metric characterizations of Tikhonov well-posedness in value.(English)Zbl 0915.90271

Summary: We discuss and give metric characterizations of Tikhonov well-posedness in value for Nash equilibria. Roughly speaking, Tikhonov well-posedness of a problem means that approximate solutions converge to the true solution when the degree of approximation goes to zero. If we add to the condition of $$\varepsilon$$-equilibrium that of $$\varepsilon$$-closeness in value to some Nash equilibrium, we obtain Tikhonov well-posedness in value, which we have defined in a previous paper. This generalization of Tikhonov well-posedness has the remarkable property of ordinality; namely, it is preserved under monotonic transformations of the payoffs. We show that a metric characterization of Tikhonov well-posedness in value is not possible unless the set of Nash equilibria is compact and nonempty.
