Game Theory – Correlated Equilibrium

“In game theory, a correlated equilibrium is a solution concept that is more general than the well known Nash equilibrium. It was first discussed by mathematician Robert Aumann (1974). The idea is that each player chooses his/her action according to his/her observation of the value of the same public signal. A strategy assigns an action to every possible observation a player can make. If no player would want to deviate from the recommended strategy (assuming the others don’t deviate), the distribution is called a correlated equilibrium.” – from Wikipedia

In the following case of study, the concepts of game theory, Nash equilibrium and correlated equilibrium are used to reach the goal.
