Mutual knowledge (logic)

Mutual knowledge (logic)

Mutual knowledge is a fundamental concept about information in game theory and logic. An event is mutual knowledge if all agents know that the event occurred [1]:73. However, mutual knowledge by itself implies nothing about what agents know about other agents' knowledge: i.e. it is possible that an event is common knowledge but that each agent is unaware that the other agents know it has occurred[2]. Common knowledge is a related but stronger notion in that any event that is common knowledge is also mutual knowledge.
