Can a normal form game be represented as a matrix?
In game theory, normal form is a description of a game. Unlike extensive form, normal-form representations are not graphical per se, but rather represent the game by way of a matrix.
Let’s examine an example of a normal form game, the standard Prisoner’s Dilemma. Example 1 (Prisoner’s Dilemma). In this game, the police have two accomplices of a crime in separate rooms.

1 Normal Form Games. normal form Game G consists of three elements G = (I, S, u); where. I = {1, 2, . . . , n} is the set of decision makers, the players. S = S1, ×S2 × · · · × Sn describes the feasible actions of the players. The players choose a strategy. = (s1, s2, . . . , sn) ∈ S simultaneously. An outcome is obtained.

Aug 2, 2019 · In game theory, normal form or it is also called strategic form , is a description of a game. The normal (or strategic form) game is usually represented by a matrix which shows the players, strategies, and payoffs.
The normal form is a matrix representation of a simultaneous game. For two players, one is the "row" player, and the other, the "column" player. Each rows or column represents a strategy and each box represents the payoffs to each player for every combination of strategies. Generally, such games are solved using the concept of a Nash equilibrium.
The central object of study in non-cooperative game theory are normal-form games. A normal-form game is a tuple Γ = (N,(A i) i∈N,(p i) i∈N) where N is a finite set of players, and for each player i ∈ N, A i is a non-empty and finite set of actions available to i and p i: ("i∈NA i) → R is a function mapping each action profile, i.e.,
Jan 25, 1997 · Game theory is the study of the ways in which interacting choices of economic agents produce outcomes with respect to the preferences (or utilities) of those agents, where the outcomes in question might have been intended by none of the agents.
