Game theory solvers' 'curvature shadow' artifact explained as removable entropy shortfall

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have identified an artifact in game theory solvers, specifically Regularized Nash Dynamics (R-NaD), that causes an apparent failure in selecting the maximum-entropy equilibrium. This phenomenon, termed the 'curvature shadow,' was observed in Kuhn poker, where R-NaD's selected strategy differed slightly from the theoretical maximum-entropy solution. The study quantitatively demonstrates that this discrepancy is a removable shortfall related to the curvature of the entropy landscape, rather than a fixed bias, and is upheld by experimental data.
