Abstract: | S. Srivastava (J. Econ. Theory 36 (1985), 26–35) states that in the space of continuous games an open and dense subset does not have a pure strategy. Nash equilibrium. The purpose of this note is twofold: first, to show that without a connectedness assumption on the strategy sets of the players this statement is false; second, to provide correct proofs of his main results. |
