Ebook: New perspectives on games and interaction

Dynamics, Games and Science I and II are a selection of surveys and research articles written by leading researchers in mathematics. The majority of the contributions are on dynamical systems and game theory, focusing either on fundamental and theoretical developments or on applications to modeling in biology, ecomonics, engineering, finances and psychology.   The papers are based on talks given at the International Conference DYNA 2008, held in honor of Mauricio Peixoto and David Rand at the University of Braga, Portugal, on September 8-12, 2008.   The aim of these volumes is to present cutting-edge research in these areas to encourage graduate students and researchers in mathematics and other fields to develop them further "This volume is a collection of papers presented at the 2007 colloquium on new perspectives on games and interaction at the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences in Amsterdam. The purpose of the colloquium was to clarify the uses of the concepts of game theory, and to identify promising new directions. This important collection testifies to the growing importance of game theory as a tool to capture the concepts of strategy, interaction, argumentation, communication, cooperation and competition. Also, it provides evidence for the richness of game theory and for its impressive and growing application"--Publisher's description.  Read more... 9789089640574 - 2 Table of Contents - 6 Preface - 8 The Logic of Conditional Doxastic Actions - 10 Comments on 'The Logic of Conditional Doxastic Actions' - 34 Belief Revision in a Temporal Framework - 46 Yet more Modal Logic of Preference Change and Belief Revision - 82 Meaningful Talk - 106 A Study in the Pragmatic of Persuasion: a Game Theoretical Approach - 122 On Glazer and Rubenstein on Persuasion - 142 Solution Concepts and Algorithms for Infinite Multiplayer Games - 152 Games in Language - 180 'Games That Make Sense': Logic, Language and Multi-Agent Interaction - 198 Solution of Church's Problem: A Tutorial - 212 Modal Dependence Logic - 238 Declarations of Dependence - 256 Backward Induction and Common Strong Belief of Rationality - 266 Efficient Coalitions in Boolean Games - 284 Interpretation if Optimal Signals - 300 A Criterion for the Existence of Pure and Stationary Optimal Strategies in Markov Decision Processes - 314
