Outline of Annual Research Achievements

The second paper On the Kuhn Equivalence of Strategies has undergone a substantial revision (based on the referee reports from Games and Economic Behavior). The revised version of the paper, now entitled Reexamination of the Equivalence of Strategies in Finite Games, is to be submitted for review to Games and Economic Behavior later this year. This paper is submitted to be presented at the 33rd Stony Brook International Conference on Game Theory, July 2022.

Current Status of Research Progress

3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.

Reason

Because of the travel restrictions the visits by PI to University of Auckland, as well as by Professor John Hillas to Waseda University has been cancelled.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

1. Revise (if required) and prepare for publication the second paper, Reexamination of the Equivalence of Strategies in Finite Games.
2. Complete the draft of the third paper, Backward induction in Nonlinear Games and submit it to academic journal.

Causes of Carryover

International travel and international workshop was not possible because of the travel restrictions.
International travel and international workshop are planned for the next fiscal year.
