Abstract

The paper is concerned with two-person nonzero-sum stopping games in which pairs of randomized stopping times are game strategies. For a general form of reward functions, existence of Nash equilibrium strategies is proved under some restrictions for three types of games: quasi-finite-horizon, random-horizon and infinite-horizon games.
