7. In a first price sealed bid auction with 2 bidders, let v be the valuation of
bidder i and b; be her bid. The bids are made simultaneously and the payoff
function of player i is given as follows:
if b; > bj,
(v; – b:)/2 if b; =b;,
if b; < b;.
u:(b1, 62; V1, V2) =
0.
The optimization problem of player i is given by
(a) maxb, (vi – b;)
(b) mat, (v; – b:)Prob{b; > b;(v;)}
(c) maxs, (vi – bi)Prob{b, > b;(v;)} + }(v; – b;) Prob{b; = b;(v;)}
(d) mar, (v; – bị)Prob{b; > b;(v;)} +}(v; – 6:)Prob{b, < b;(v;)}
