On a Class of Strategy Pairs in Markov Games

This contribution deals with Nash equilibria in two-person Markov games. A special class of strategy pairs is considered, so-called intimidation strategy pairs. The idea of such strategy pairs is the following one: Both players have an agreement to play some deterministic strategy pair, but if one of the players violates this agreement then the other player chooses such a strategy which is most unfavourable for the disloyal player.
