Equivalence between graph-based and sequence-based extensive form games

Abstract

This note establishes an equivalence between the graph-based definition of an infinite extensive form game [following Kuhn (Contributions to the theory of games
II, Princeton: Princeton University Press, pp 193–216, 1953)] and the sequence-based definition by Osborne and Rubinstein (A course in game theory, Cambridge: MIT Press, 1994).
