Question

If type-0 player 1 is mixing, what condition must be satisfied in this equilibrium?

There are two players called 1 and 2. Player 1 can be of two types t E {0,1} with Pr (t=1) = T.
E (0,1). [Here, a is a symbol]
The actions and payoffs of the game are given by:
|left right
up
0,4 1,1
down 1,2 t,4
where the row player is player 1.
We will use the following notation:
01(t): probability that player 1 plays up if she is of type t;
02: probability that player 2 plays left.

We will use the following notation: 01(t): probability that player 1 plays up if she is of type t; 02: probability that player 2 plays left.
We want to know whether and when it is possible that in a Bayes Nash equilibrium player 1
mixes between up and down whenever she is of type t = 0, i.e. 01(0) E (0,1).
We therefore proceed to construct such an equilibrium and then verify for which values of t
this equilibrium exists.
