Abstract

We consider a partially asymmetric three-players zero-sum game with two strategic variables. Two players (A and B) have the same payoff functions, and Player C does not. Two strategic variables are tit_i's and sis_i's for i=A,B,Ci=A, B, C. Mainly we will show the following results. 1. The equilibrium when all players choose tit_i's is equivalent to the equilibrium when Players A and B choose tit_i's and Player C chooses sCs_C as their strategic variables. 2. The equilibrium when all players choose sis_i's is equivalent to the equilibrium when Players A and B choose sis_i's and Player C chooses tCt_C as their strategic variables. The equilibrium when all players choose tit_i's and the equilibrium when all players choose sis_i's are not equivalent although they are equivalent in a symmetric game in which all players have the same payoff functions.
