A distributed, dynamical system view of finite, static games

This paper contains a reformulation of any n-player finite, static game into a framework of distributed, dynamical system based on agents' payoff-based deviations. The reformulation generalizes the method employed in the second part of the study of countries' relation formation problem in [1] to the case of any finite, static game. In the paper two deviation rules are provided and possible applications of this framework are discussed.
