{"product_id":"9781608454082","title":"Network Games","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis monograph studies game theoretic models for analysis of resource allocation among heterogeneous agents in networks. Given the central role that game theory plays in the analysis of networked systems, the first part of the monograph will be devoted to a systematic analysis of fundamental game theoretic topics. Emphasis will be placed on game theoretic tools that are commonly used in the analysis of resource allocation in current networks or those that are likely to be used in future networks. We start in the next chapter with strategic form games, which constitute the foundation of game theoretic analysis and enable us to introduce the central concept of Nash equilibrium, which makes predictions about equilibrium behavior in situations in which several agents interact. We also introduce several related concepts, such as correlated equilibria, both to clarify the conditions under which Nash equilibria are likely to provide a good approximation to behavior in various different circumstances and as alternative concepts of equilibrium that might be useful in the communication area in future research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morgan \u0026 Claypool Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47051363582192,"sku":"9781608454082","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781608454082_p0.jpg?v=1763834247","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781608454082","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
