Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Game Theory and Applications outlines game theory and proves its validity by examining it alongside the neoclassical paradigm. This book contends that the neoclassical theory is the exceptional case, and that game theory may indeed be the rule. The papers and abstracts collected here explore its recent development and suggest new research directions. - Explains many of the recent central developments in game theory - Highlights new research directions in economic theory which surpass the neoclassical paradigm - Includes game-theoretical analyses in economics, political science, and biology - Written by leading game theorists, economists, political scientists, and biologists

Book Two Person Zero Sum Games

Download or read book Two Person Zero Sum Games written by Alan Washburn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two-person zero-sum game theory deals with situations that are perfectly competitive—there are exactly two decision makers for whom there is no possibility of cooperation or compromise. It is the most fundamental part of game theory, and the part most commonly applied. There are diverse applications to military battles, sports, parlor games, economics and politics. The theory was born in World War II, and has by now matured into a significant and tractable body of knowledge about competitive decision making. The advent of modern, powerful computers has enabled the solution of many games that were once beyond computational reach. Two-Person Zero-Sum Games, 4th Ed. offers an up-to-date introduction to the subject, especially its computational aspects. Any finite game can be solved by the brute force method of enumerating all possible strategies and then applying linear programming. The trouble is that many interesting games have far too many strategies to enumerate, even with the aid of computers. After introducing ideas, terminology, and the brute force method in the initial chapters, the rest of the book is devoted to classes of games that can be solved without enumerating every strategy. Numerous examples are given, as well as an extensive set of exercises. Many of the exercises are keyed to sheets of an included Excel workbook that can be freely downloaded from the SpringerExtras website. This new edition can be used as either a reference book or as a textbook.

Book Introducing Game Theory and its Applications

Download or read book Introducing Game Theory and its Applications written by Elliott Mendelson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-08-02 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic text, originally from the noted logician Elliot Mendelson, is intended to be an easy-to-read introduction to the basic ideas and techniques of game theory. It can be used as a class textbook or for self-study. Introducing Game Theory and its Applications, Second Edition presents an easy-to-read introduction to the basic ideas and techniques of game theory. After a brief introduction, the authors begin with a chapter devoted to combinatorial games--a topic neglected or treated minimally in most other texts. The focus then shifts to two-person zero-sum games and their solutions. Here the authors present the simplex method based on linear programming for solving these games and develop within this presentation the required background. The final chapter presents some of the fundamental ideas and tools of non-zero-sum games and games with more than two players, including an introduction to cooperative game theory. The book is suitable for a first undergraduate course in game theory, or a graduate course for students with limited previous exposure. It is useful for students who need to learn some game theory for a related subject (e.g., microeconomics) and have a limited mathematical background. It also prepares its readers for more advanced study of game theory's applications in economics, business, and the physical, biological, and social sciences. The authors hope this book breeds curiosity about the subject as its design is meant to to satisfy the readers. The book will prepare readers for deeper study of game theory applications in many fields of study.

Book Zero Sum Game

Download or read book Zero Sum Game written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Zero Sum Game A zero-sum game is a mathematical model of a situation that involves two sides, where the result is an advantage for one side and an equivalent loss for the other side. This representation is used in game theory and economic theory where the scenario involves two sides. In other words, the gain that player one receives is comparable to the loss that player two receives, which results in the fact that the overall improvement in benefit that the game provides is zero. How you will benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Zero-sum game Chapter 2: Game theory Chapter 3: Minimax Chapter 4: Nash equilibrium Chapter 5: Coordination game Chapter 6: Matching pennies Chapter 7: Strategy (game theory) Chapter 8: Non-cooperative game theory Chapter 9: Perfect Bayesian equilibrium Chapter 10: Bayesian game Chapter 11: Backward induction Chapter 12: Strategic dominance Chapter 13: Fictitious play Chapter 14: Economy of India Chapter 15: Repeated game Chapter 16: Quantal response equilibrium Chapter 17: Risk dominance Chapter 18: Epsilon-equilibrium Chapter 19: Stochastic game Chapter 20: Simultaneous game Chapter 21: Jean-François Mertens (II) Answering the public top questions about zero sum game. (III) Real world examples for the usage of zero sum game in many fields. Who this book is for Professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who want to go beyond basic knowledge or information for any kind of Zero Sum Game.

Book Economics and the Theory of Games

Download or read book Economics and the Theory of Games written by Michael Bacharach and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-09-18 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook offers a systematic, self-contained account of the main contributions of modern game theory and its applications to economics. Starting with a detailed description of how to model strategic situations, the discussion proceeds by studying basic solution concepts, their main refinements, games played under incomplete information, and repeated games. For each of these theoretical developments, there is a companion set of applications that cover the most representative instances of game-theoretic analysis in economics, e.g. oligopolistic competition, public goods, coordination failures, bargaining, insurance markets, implementation theory, signaling and auctions. The theory and applications covered in the first part of the book fall under the so-called 'classical' approach to game theory, which is founded on the paradigm of players' unlimited rationality. The second part shifts towards topics that no longer abide by that paradigm. This leads to the study of topics such as the interplay between evolution and rationality.
