Résumé

The book under review presents the serious theoretical development of the game models in an easy-to-follow style and provides computer methodology to solve a broad class of problems. It includes a wide range of game modeling applications in many different areas. The authors have focused on integration the fundamentals, methodology, and major application fields of non-cooperative and cooperative games including conflict resolution. The topics addressed in the book are discrete and continuous games including games represented by finite trees; matrix and bimatrix games as well as oligopolies; cooperative solution concepts; games under uncertainty; dynamic games and conflict resolution. The methodology is illustrated by carefully chosen examples, applications and case studies which are selected from economics, social sciences, engineering, the military and homeland security. This book is highly recommended to readers who are interested in the in-depth and up-to-date integration of the theory and ever-expanding application areas of game theory. It is addressed to interdisciplinary graduate/ undergraduate students and to interdisciplinary young researchers.
