Game Theory 101: The Complete Textbook on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Game-Theory-101-Complete-Textbook/dp/1492728152/ http://gametheory101.com/courses/game-theory-101/ When games have exogenous variables, some equilibria may only exist for particular configurations of those variables--increase them or decrease them by a small amount, and they completely disappear. We call such equilibria knife-edge equilibria, as their existence lies precariously on the edge of a knife. The downside is that knife-edge conditions usually lead to a large number of equilibria, which require extra work to solve. The good news is that knife-edge equilibria are inherently unrealistic, so we can ignore them for the most part.
