Abstract
Nonzero-sum N-person stochastic games are a generalization of Shapley's two-person zero-sum terminating stochastic game. Rogers and Sobel showed that an equilibrium point exists when the sets of states, actions, and players are finite. The present paper treats discounted stochastic games when the sets of states and actions are given by metric spaces and the set of players is arbitrary. The existence of an equilibrium point is proven under assumptions of continuity and compactness.Keywords
