  Quasi-perfect equilibrium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quasi-perfect equilibrium is a further refinement of sequential equilibrium.
But in any extensive-form trembling hand perfect equilibrium, at least one of the players believes that he is at least as likely as the other player to perform the task incorrectly and hence votes for the other player.

 Trembling hand perfect equilibrium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trembling hand perfect equilibrium is a refinement of Nash Equilibrium due to Reinhard Selten.
A trembling hand perfect equilibrium is an equilibrium that takes the possibility of off-the-equilibrium play into account by assuming that the players, through a "slip of the hand" or tremble, may choose unintended strategies, albeit with negligible probability.
The notions of normal-form and extensive-form trembling hand perfect equilibria are incomparable, i.e., an equilibrium of an extensive-form game may be normal-form trembling hand perfect but not extensive-form trembling hand perfect and vice versa.

 PSC 796, Formal Theories of Choice
Perfect Bayesian equilibrium is a stronger equilibrium concept requiring rational behavior at every information set (similar to subgame perfection) and beliefs derived from Bayes's rule wherever possible.
Perfect Bayesian equilibrium is not fully satisfactory as an equilibrium concept: it does not completely pin down beliefs off the equilibrium path, and it does not always rule out unreasonable equilibria.
Sequential equilibrium is not invariant to the addition of irrelevant actions to the game tree, and therefore it depends crucially on the way in which the game tree is constructed (the latter, though, could be said of most aspects of game theory).

The actual mechanics of how the equilibrium is arrived at are not touched upon, and may even be regarded as something of a mystery.
Since the welfare-maximising paupers strategy (which is equal in equilibrium to the govenments beliefs about the paupers strategy) is his best response to the welfare maximising behaviour of the government, we derive the paupers equilibrium strategy by maximising expected government utility using the von Neumann-Morgenstern method.
Rasmusen (1989) defines trembling-hand perfection as an equilibrium concept which says that for a strategy to be part of an equilibrium it must continue to be optimal for a player even if there is a small chance that the other player will pick some out-of equilibrium action (that the other players hand will tremble).

 The Prize in Economics 1994 - Press Release
In a Nash equilibrium, all of the players' expectations are fulfilled and their chosen strategies are optimal.
Selten's subgame perfection has direct significance in discussions of credibility in economic policy, the analysis of oligopoly, the economics of information, etc. It is the most fundamental refinement of Nash equilibrium.
Since the rationalistic interpretation of Nash equilibrium is based on the assumption that the players know each others' preferences, no methods had been available for analyzing games with incomplete information, despite the fact that such games best reflect many strategic interactions in the real world.

 Game Theory (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
On this view, NE is a robust equilibrium concept because if players evolve their strategic dispositions in settings that are competitive, those who don't do what's optimal given the strategies of others in that specific environment will be outcompeted, and so selection will either eliminate them or encourage the learning of new dispositions.
If there is even a remote possibility that a player may make a mistake—that her ‘hand may tremble’—then no contradiction is introduced by a player's using a backward induction argument that requires the hypothetical assumption that another player has taken a path that a rational player could not choose.
Unless players have experienced play at equilibrium with one another in the past, even if they are all rational, and all believe this about one another, we should predict that they will attach some positive probability to the conjecture that interaction partners have not yet learned all equilibria.

Then the resulting supergame has an equilibrium in pure strategies, and the payoffs to all such equilibria are close to optimal (i.e., to z).
She argues that once a cooperative equilibrium is established, it is likely to persist because future decisions will be based on past choices.
To be a strong perfect equilibrium against itself, a strategy must be the best response to itself after every possible sequence of behavior.

 Is Game Theory Useful?
The only Nash equilibrium is (defect,defect), despite the fact that both would be better off if they were to cooperate, because neither player acting unilaterally has the incentive to deviate.
We can conclude that, despite the fact that the same equilibrium concept is applied to all three models, the different outcomes suggest that oligopoly theory results are very sensitive to the details of the model.
A trembling hand perfect equilibrium must be robust against slight perturbations in strategy: (5,5) is trembling hand perfect; (0,10) is not.

Among the recently discovered features which the Nash Equilibrium exhibits under various conditions are heteroclinic Hamiltonian dynamics, a very complex asymptotic structure in the context of two-player bi-matrix games and a number of computationally complex or computationally intractable features in other settings.
Introduction One of the particularly difficult aspects of the Nash Equilibrium is that the average economic practitioner, game theorist or other type of modeler is most likely to be familiar with a very truncated simplified version of John Nash’s actual discovery.
The SAF team notes that in the context of studying the learning trajectories of players ostensibly moving towards the Nash equilibrium: Because of the zero sum condition the learning dynamics have a conserved quantity, with a Hamiltonian structure similar to that of physical problems such as celestial mechanics.

 Game Theory
A " Nash Equilibrium" will be reached when each agent's actions begets a reaction by all the other agents which, in turn, begets the same initial action.
In 1950, John Nash introduced the concept of a "Nash Equilibrium" (NE), which became the organizing concept under Game Theory -- even though the concept actually stretched as far back as Cournot (1838).
Robert J. Aumann (1974) defined "Correlated Equilibrium" for Bayesian Games while Reinhard Selten (1975) introduced "Trembling Hand Equilibrium" for Bayesian Games.

Among other results, we prove that in the one-stage case, any survivor in a pure-strategy perfect equilibrium profile for the Expel-then-Admit protocol is also a survivor in any pure-strategy perfect equilibrium profile in the Admit-then-Expel protocol.
In one of them we exhibit a perfect equilibrium profile, which is also Pareto undominated, but nevertheless we are convinced that it will not be accepted by the agents.
Moreover, the perfect information guidance law can be corrected to compensate for the known estimation delay leading to a substantial reduction of the maximum miss distance, implying robustness with respect to the target maneuver structure.

We show that beliefs converge over time and, moreover, that the limit beliefs are empirically correct: their forecast of future public information matches the true distribution of future public information.
Next, we provide sufficient conditions to ensure that the play of any stage game is eventually close to that of a Bayesian equilibrium where players know the true type generating distribution.
We go further to identify conditions under which play converges to the play of a trembling-hand perfect (Bayesian) equilibrium.

We define Random Belief Equilibrium (RBE) in finite, normal form games.
The limiting RBE is a trembling hand perfect Nash equilibrium, but not all perfect equilibria are limiting RBE.
