What is the relation between a mechanism and a
game?
Let µ = 〈µ 1 , . . . µ i , . . . µ n 〉 where µ i : O −→ R is a real-valued
utility (payoff) function for player i (see Definition 3.5).
Mechanisms and games
If µ is a utility profile and 〈Act, M〉 is a mechanism wrt. A
and O, then 〈N, A, O, M, µ〉 is a |A|-person normal form
game.
