Summary

As we showed in Section 6.5, Nash (1951) proved the existence of a mixed equilibrium in a finite game with the help of Brouwer’s fixed-point Theorem 6.4. Fixed-point theorems are powerful tools for proving the existence of many equilibrium concepts in economics. Brouwer’s theorem is the first and most important of these.
