Game Theory for Electrical Engineers

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course will be an undergraduate course in cooperative and noncooperative game theory for both static and dynamic models (with deterministic as well as stochastic descriptions). Topics to be covered are: Formulation of static and dynamic games; Cooperative versus noncooperative decision making; Various solution concepts; Deterministic zero-sum and nonzero-sum finite static games; Existence and computation of Nash equilibria; Fixed point theorems; Finite dynamic games; Infinite and continuous-kernel games; Stackelberg equilibria for finite and infinite games; Cooperative games and bargaining; Evolutionary games and evolutionary stable strategies; Deterministic infinite zero-sum and nonzero-sum dynamic games; Introduction to stochastic dynamic games. Pre-requisites: ( MATH 20580 or MATH 10094 ) and EE 30363
