Games with informants. An information-theoretical approach towards a game-theoretical problem
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of information in non-cooperative games. We shall use methods being provided by information theory. The asymptotic value of a class of two-person zero-sum games is investigated in which one of the players is supplied with some knowledge of the controls chosen by the other. According to this information he then chooses his own controls. Due to this asymmetry a higher payoff arises compared to the outcome of games being played under the usual assumptions. The main result of this chapter is a computable formula for the value of these games.
