According to the Neumann-Morgenstern theorem, in the classic two-players strategic games /2/ there exists at least one equilibrium point in the mixed strategies domain.

Under assumption that the elements uij are fuzzy, the theorem is false. The asymetric equilibrium point, from viewpoint of the I player only, can be established by the so called LPI-sation procedure /6/:


If the player I can state a fuzzy LPI-forecast for the distribution of the moves of the player II, player I can consider Table 1 as a simple LPI-decision and thereby the MaxEmin equilibrium point can be calculated, but only from the viewpoint of the player I.


The determination of a symmetric stability point for players i and II is possible only by changing the rules of the game in Table 1.


Instead of Table 1 we will consider a two stage decision tree, shown below. It is a so called simple decision tree with two-stage moves: first move the player I, then player II. Given are the fuzzy outputs for player I and II at the end points of the tree, the minimal normalized preference indices ai, bi can be determined /2/. Then the LPI-rollback procedure will lead to the MaxEmin-stability strategies for players I and II.


An extension of the tree into finite LPI-decision trees leads to the following theorem which is true for a non-cooperative game /6/:


In any finite extension of a simple fuzzy LPI-decision tree, there exist at least one pair of multi-stage stability strategies for players I and II, supposing, the players know the tree with its LPI structure.

The proof follows by applying the LPI-Roll back procedure in the given decision tree.
