Game theory and computing have a long history: Von Neumann, the founder of game theory, was also one of the founders of computing, and the standard architecture for the digital computer is named the Von Neumann architecture in his honour. This century, there has been a huge expansion of interest ...

Applied game theory is the practical application of game theory principles and concepts in real-world situations. It involves using mathematical models to analyze strategic decision-making in various fields such as economics, politics, business, and social interactions. This section focuses on ap...

Cooperative game theory is concerned with multiagent decision problems in which coalitions, i.e., subsets of the set of players, can enter into binding agreements to follow a prescribed course of action. To address the different ways in which the resulting reward or cost is allocated to the playe...

Learning and evolution in games cover a wide range of applications of game theory in biology, computer science, control theory, economics, and other social sciences. The common motivation is to understand the dynamics and resulting convergence properties of interactions in dynamic populations and...

Market design studies how to design rules for allocating resources or to structure successful marketplaces. While heavily relying on the tools of game theory and mechanism design, it also seeks to identify why certain market rules or institutions succeed and why others fail. Market design models ...
