| Abstract/Summary |
Simulated annealing is one of a family of Monte Carlo simulation methods that relies on a Markov chain to assure its convergence. This paper exploits an analogy between the
function of the "trembles" that underlie the function of simulated annealing and the player "trembles" that underlie the Nash refinement known as "trembling hand" perfection. This paper
shows that this relationship can be used to provide a method for comupting perfect and proper equilibria of fine n-player games.
