            Abstract : 
In order to describe the relationship between strategies of various agents, the concepts of the influence degree and the strategy dependency are presented. Accordingly, an approach for reducing a graphical model is given, and the relationship between the discrete degree and the approximate degree is developed, and then the genetic-algorithm-based approach for computing approximate Nash equilibrium is given.
