JudgeWargrave Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 More generally, in a n player, 2nd price spiteful auction with spite coefficient alpha (meaning that your utility = (1-alpha)*your profit-alpha*(sum of other player's profit)), In a zero sum context, since everyone profiting by 1 is equivalent to everyone profiting by 0, we have (1-a)x1 - a(n-1) = 0, so a = 1/n. In which case your expression for X becomes X=1-(1-F)^n. Anyway, do you see any big problem with what I have now ruadath? I'm about ready to roll out another thread I think.

ruadath Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I think what you have is probably fine, so I guess just roll it out and see what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
