Summary
A non zero-sum stopping game of a symmetric Markov process is investigated. A system of quasi-variational inequalites (QVI) is introduced in terms of Dirichlet forms and the existence of extremal solutions of the system of QVI is discussed. Nash equilibrium points of the stopping game are obtained from solutions of the system of QVI.
