Matrix multiplication in game theory doesn't add up? Min y^T*Ax

136 Views Asked by At

I'm studying game theory and something seems weird to me.

My book says y is the probability of the row player and x is the probability of column player, both x and y are vectors.

A = [a$_i$$_j$] is the payout matrix, if a$_i$$_j$ is positive, column player pays the row player and vice versa.

So the the row player would want to minimize his payouts giving us

min y$^T$Ax with some constraint.

My question is that when I did the matrix multiplication, it dimensions do not add up.

Am I missing something??
