Perfect sequential equilibrium
Our equilibrium concept is a restriction of sequential equilibrium. A player chooses a ''metastrategy'' which specifies his act as a function of his belief. This permits players to evaluate how a game will evolve if new beliefs are assigned to a given node, and enables us to develop a restriction on the beliefs ''off the equilibrium path''. A perfect sequential equilibrium is supported by beliefs p which prevent a player from deviating to an unreached node, when there is no belief q which, when assigned to the node, makes it optimal for a deviation to occur with probability q.
