A Course in Game Theory presents the main ideas of game theory at a level suitable for graduate students and advanced undergraduates, emphasizing the theory's foundations and interpretations of its basic concepts. The authors provide precise definitions and full proofs of results, sacrificing generalities and limiting the scope of the material in order to do so. The text is organized in four parts: strategic games, extensive games with perfect information, extensive games with imperfect information, and coalitional games. It includes over 100 exercises.
"Deals with real life situations where objectives of the participants are partially cooperative and partially conflicting"--
This book for beginning graduate students presents a course on stochastic games and the mathematical methods used in their analysis.
This book presents an introductory and up-to-date course on game theory addressed to mathematicians and economists, and to other scientists having a basic mathematical background.
The book introduces in an accessible manner the main ideas behind the theory rather than their mathematical expression. All concepts are defined precisely, and logical reasoning is used throughout.
this approach to the Battle of the Sexes, for example, you will find both purestrategy Nash equilibria, (O, O) and(F, F). For the Prisoner's Dilemma only (F, F) will be identified.
COURSE IN GAME THEORY.
Game theory is the mathematical study of interaction among independent, self-interested agents.
The outstanding feature of this book is that it provides a unified account of three types of decision problem. It covers the basic ideas of decision theory, classical game theory, and evolutionary game theory in one volume.
Each part of the book also contains several chapter-length applications including Bankruptcy Law, the NASDAQ market, OPEC, and the Commons problem. This is also the first text to provide a detailed analysis of dynamic strategic interaction.
The first textbook to explain the principles of epistemic game theory.
