This course is an introduction to the fundamentals of game theory. Game theory is the study of strategic decision making. Specifically, it is "the study of mathematical models of conflict and cooperation between intelligent rational decision-makers". Another description is multi-agent optimization. Motivations are drawn from engineered/networked systems (including distributed control of wireline and wireless communication networks, incentive-compatible/dynamic resource allocation, multi-agent systems, pricing and investment decisions in the Internet), and social models (including social and economic networks). The course emphasizes the theoretical foundations, mathematical tools, modeling, and equilibrium notions in different environments.

Värderingsförmåga och förhållningssätt
För godkänd kurs skall doktoranden Judge the suitability of different game theory formulations and equilibrium concepts for engineering problems.
Different forms of games such as strategic form games, extensive games, repeated games and differential games. Tools to investigate equilibrias of games; iterated strict dominance and Nash equilibrium. Further, concepts as rationalizability, learning and evolution in games will be covered. Additionally, the course covers game theory that describes auctions, bargaining, games with incomplete information, differential games, resource allocation and pricing.
