- Inhalt
- John von Neumann invented Game Theory in 1928; in 1944 he published with Oskar Morgenstern the monumental work "Theory of Games and Economic Behavior" [1].
The seminar will in its first third explain the main contents of the book [1]. In the second third we shall treat extensions and refinements of the theory of [1] in the more modern literature, e.g. in [2] and [5]. To establish a bridge between Game Theory and Computer Science we shall exploit the book "Algorithmic Game Theory" [3].
The mathematics needed to understand the seminar is elementary, although several arguments are rather intricate. There will also be several excursions into side topics, e.g. the famous Game of Life and several more combinatorial considerations as in [4]; we shall even treat the set-theoretic Axiom of Determinacy (which asserts the existence of winning strategies for certain infinitely long games).
