Description
Game Theory: Analysis of Conflict provides a rigorous and comprehensive examination of mathematical models used to analyze strategic conflict and cooperation among rational decision-makers. The book develops the theoretical foundations of both noncooperative and cooperative game theory, covering decision theory, strategic-form and extensive-form games, equilibrium concepts, Bayesian games, communication, repeated games, bargaining, and coalitional games. It emphasizes formal analysis and mathematical reasoning while exploring the principles used to understand situations in which the decisions of multiple individuals or organizations influence one another. Through systematic explanations and theoretical models, the book provides a strong foundation for advanced study and research in game theory and its applications in economics, political science, operations research, and applied mathematics.
