Game Theoretical Applications to Economics and Operations Research

This text deals with various aspects of game theory and their applications to economics and operational research related problems. It brings together the contributions of a wide spectrum of disciplines such as statistics, mathematics, mathematical economics and OR. The contributions include decision theory, stochastic games, co-operative and nonco-operative games. The papers in the volume are classified under five different sections. The first four sections are devoted to the theory of two-person games, linear complimentarity problems and game theory, co-operative and nonco-operative games. The fifth section contains diverse applications of these various theories. Taken together they exhibit a rich versatility of these theories and lively interaction between the mathematical theory of games and significant economic problems.
