商品描述
A graduate-level, mathematically rigorous introduction to strategic behavior in a networked world.
This introductory graduate-level text uses tools from game theory and graph theory to examine the role of network structures and network effects in economic and information markets. The goal is for students to develop an intuitive and mathematically rigorous understanding of how strategic agents interact in a connected world. The text synthesizes some of the central results in the field while also simplifying their treatment to make them more accessible to nonexperts. Thus, students at the introductory level will gain an understanding of key ideas in the field that are usually only taught at the advanced graduate level.
The book introduces basic concepts from game theory and graph theory as well as some fundamental algorithms for exploring graphs. These tools are then applied to analyze strategic interactions over social networks, to explore different types of markets and mechanisms for networks, and to study the role of beliefs and higher-level beliefs (beliefs about beliefs). Specific topics discussed include coordination and contagion on social networks, traffic networks, matchings and matching markets, exchange networks, auctions, voting, web search, models of belief and knowledge, and how beliefs affect auctions and markets. An appendix offers a "Primer on Probability." Mathematically rigorous, the text assumes a level of mathematical maturity (comfort with definitions and proofs) in the reader.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
一部針對研究生的、數學上嚴謹的網絡世界戰略行為入門書。
這本入門級的研究生教材運用博弈論和圖論的工具,探討網絡結構和網絡效應在經濟和信息市場中的角色。目標是讓學生在一個互聯的世界中,發展出直觀且數學上嚴謹的理解,了解戰略代理人如何互動。該書綜合了該領域的一些核心結果,同時簡化其處理方式,使其對非專家更具可及性。因此,入門級的學生將能夠理解該領域中的關鍵概念,這些概念通常僅在高級研究生課程中教授。
本書介紹了博弈論和圖論的基本概念,以及一些探索圖形的基本算法。然後將這些工具應用於分析社交網絡上的戰略互動,探索不同類型的市場和網絡機制,並研究信念及高層信念(對信念的信念)的角色。具體討論的主題包括社交網絡上的協調與傳染、交通網絡、配對與配對市場、交換網絡、拍賣、投票、網頁搜索、信念與知識模型,以及信念如何影響拍賣和市場。附錄提供了「概率入門」。該文本在數學上嚴謹,假設讀者具備一定的數學成熟度(對定義和證明的熟悉度)。
