Learning Outcomes

On successful completion, students will be able to: - model strategic interaction scenarios as games, - analyze games via applying solution concepts, - develop (efficient) algorithms to compute solutions, - study algorithmic problems from a game-theoretic perspective, - work independently to gain an understanding of published results and proof methods, and - communicate the central ideas of research papers to non-experts.

Content

Algorithmic Game Theory addresses problems at the interface of game theory and computer science. Game theory studies strategic interactions of multiple agents in situations where the well-being of a single agent depends not only on his own actions, but also on the actions of all the other agents. We discuss fundamental concepts from game theory and investigate algorithmic aspects of solution concepts. Furthermore, we will analyze algorithmic problems from a game-theoretic perspective.
