Research Type Theoretical We prove that under the probability ranking principle (PRP), which forms the basis of the current state-of-the-art ranking methods, any better-response learning dynamics converges to a pure Nash equilibrium. We also show that other ranking methods induce a strategic environment under which such a convergence may not occur. Our main result proves that under the PRP, any better-response learning dynamics converges to a pure Nash equilibrium.
