{"product_id":"cooperative-games-on-combinatorial-struc","title":"Cooperative Games On Combinatorial Struc","description":"The aim of \u003cem\u003eCooperative Games on Combinatorial Structures\u003c\/em\u003e  is to analyze conflict situations in which two or more players can  make coalitions and obtain prizes and penalties. This approach to                            situations of competition and cooperation was given in the seminal  treatise by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern, \u003cem\u003eTheory of  Games\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eand Economic Behavior\u003c\/em\u003e. Cooperative game theory                            has  succeeded in providing many applications of game theory. \u003cbr\u003e  In this volume, games defined on combinatorial structures will be  analyzed, i.e. a set system over a set of players. In many situations  the author                            will work in a \u003cem\u003eclosure space\u003c\/em\u003e. Examples of closure  operators are the spanning operator of linear algebra and all convex  hull operators. \u003cbr\u003e  Chapters 1-4 constitute a review of mathematical                            concepts from  \u003cem\u003eCooperative Game Theory, Graph Theory, Linear and Integer\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eProgramming, Combinatorial Optimization, Discrete Convex  Analysis\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eComputational                            Complexity\u003c\/em\u003e. The table of contents  is a short guide to the topics and methods covered in this book. In  Chapters 11 and 12, several notebooks are presented with the system  Mathematica by Wolfram in the contexts of                            the packages  \u003cem\u003eDiscreteMath\u003c\/em\u003e (Skiena) and \u003cem\u003eCooperative\u003c\/em\u003e (Carter). There will  also be found in the book several research projects. These are  intended to offer new ideas that the reader                            should consider with  caution. \u003cbr\u003e  This book will be of interest to graduate students with some  experience in game theory or mathematical programming and professional  researchers in game theory, operational research                            and its applications  in economic theory, and the political and social sciences. In  addition, it will be especially useful for professionals who are  interested in models for understanding and managing conflicts:  management                            and operational research scientists, political and military  scientists, and professional negotiators.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57565785653630,"sku":"NW9780792377825","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780792377825.jpg?v=1781708280","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/cooperative-games-on-combinatorial-struc","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
