Abstract
Iterated dominance is perhaps the most basic principle in game theory. The epistemic foundation of this principle is based
on the assumption that all players are rational. The main contribution of this paper is to characterize the algorithm of iterated
admissibility in Probabilistic Epistemic Game Logic (PEGL). Firstly, on the basis of Probabilistic Epistemic Logic we set
up a logic PEGL. Secondly, by redefining a concept of rationality, we show that the common knowledge of the rationality characterizes
the algorithm of Iterated Admissibility, that is, we provide an epistemic foundation for the solutions or equilibria which
are found by the algorithm of Iterated Admissibility(IA). Next, we provide a different characterization of IA using public
announcements of the rationality in dynamic logic. The results we obtain can be seen as giving a dynamic epistemic foundation
for the algorithm of Iterated Admissibility.
