The second sentence says "A strategy set is a subgame perfect equilibrium if (...)", and "strategy set" is a link to the "strategy" page. However, that page does not define anything called "strategy set". Instead, it defines a "strategy profile", which I *think* is what is meant here. I won't change it, though, because I'm not 100% sure that this is the right correction. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will read this?

Yes, that is correct. Have updated. 129.67.98.222 18:51, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Example

I think different wording should be used instead of "Wheel Ripper". There must be better terminology

[edit] "Dynamic Game" and "sequential game"

I propose to replace "dynamic game" with "sequential game" here and in other articles. The term "dynamic game" is redirected to "sequential game". Both terms are used in game theory articles, apparently the meaniong is exatly the same.

The use of different terms for the same meaning should be avoided. "Sequential game" opposed to "simultaneous game",is a self explaining term, "dynamic game" is not. --RomualdoGrillo 17:12, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I think dynamic game is more general: it merely states that there is a time dimension. The repetition of a simultaneous game is dynamic, yet not sequential.Koczy (talk) 22:49, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
