which can be obtained by solving the fourth degree algebraic system (1.46) for
x i .t/, upon setting x i .t C 1/ D 0,(i D 1;2). A simple strategy for obtaining the
preimages of O is to start from the dynamics of T g restricted to the axes. Since
x i .t/ D 0 implies x i .t C 1/ D 0, starting from an initial condition on a coordinate
axis, the dynamics are “trapped” on this axis for all t. In other words, a monopoly
prevails over time and the one-dimensional “monopoly dynamics” is obtained from
(1.46) with x i
D 0, namely

We also note that this map is conjugate to the standard logistic map x.t C 1/ D

the relation D 1 C a j .A c j / can be obtained. The following results for our
map can be directly derived from the properties of the logistic map, which is well-
studied in the literature; see for example, Devaney (1989). The rank-1 preimages

1;2), the one-dimensional restriction (1.51) gives bounded dynamics for a j .A

1 . Observe that divergent trajectories along the invariant x j axis are obtained
if the initial condition is out of the segment ! j (j D 1;2). Let us now turn to
the quadrilateral region bounded by the two segments ! 1 and ! 2 and their rank-
1 preimages, say .! 1 / 1 and .! 2 / 1 respectively (see Fig. 1.14). The preimages
.! 1 / 1 and .! 2 / 1 can be analytically computed as follows. Let X D .x;0/ be a
point of ! 1 . Its preimages are the real solutions .x 1 ;x 2 / of the algebraic system

From the second equation it is easy to see that the preimages of the points of ! 1
are either located on the same invariant axis x 2
D 0 or on the line represented by
the equation

Analogously, the preimages of a point of ! 2 belong to the same invariant axis
x 1
D 0 or to the curve represented by equation

It is now straightforward to see that the line (1.53) intersects the x 2 axis in the
point O .2/

and the line (1.54) intersects the x 1 axis in the point O .1/
1 . Moreover,
the two lines intersect at the point O .3/
1 . A summary of these observations leads to
the following description of the basin of the asymptotically stable Nash equilibrium
E as shown in Fig. 1.14. The rank-1 preimages of the origin are the vertexes of the
quadrilateral OO .1/
