Algebraic Degrees of Generalized Nash Equilibrium Problems

This paper studies algebraic degree of generalized Nash equilibrium problems (GNEPs) given by polynomials. Their generalized Nash equilibria (GNEs), as well as their KKT or Fritz-John points, are algebraic functions in the coefficients of defining polynomials. We study the degrees of these algebraic functions, which also counts the numbers of complex KKT or Fritz-John points. Under some genericity assumptions, we show that a GNEP has only finitely many complex Fritz-John points and every Fritz-John point is a KKT point. We also give formulae for algebraic degrees of GNEPs, which count the numbers of complex Fritz-John points for generic cases.
