Course objectives:
|
The goal of this seminar is to introduce basic approaches to the modelling of conflict situations. The problems, in which the participants interact, will be predominantly treated. We will discuss some techniques which enable to influence the outcome from outside. After taking part in this seminar, a student should not only be able to understand specific tools of this theory (equilibria, Nash theorem, normal and extended forms, cooperative and non-cooperative games, complete information, etc.), but (s)he should also have the skills to apply them and understand the basic strategic techniques.
