# On the Existence of Pareto Efficient Nash Equilibria in Discontinuous Games

This paper gives existence theorems of pure, Pareto efficient, Nash equilibrium in compact, convex and discontinuous games. These conditions are simple and straightforward to verify. Moreover, the present existence results neither imply nor are implied by the known results in the literature. The results are illustrated by several examples.
