Linear Programming Notes IX: Two-Person Zero-Sum Game Theory
Economists use the word rational in a narrow way. To an economist, a rational actor is someone who makes decisions that maximize her (or his) preferences subject to constraints imposed by the environment. So, this actor knows her preferences and knows how to go about optimizing. It is a powerful approach, but it probably is only distantly related to what you mean when you think of yourself as r...

متن کاملStochastic Recursive Zero-Sum Differential Game and Mixed Zero-Sum Differential Game Problem
Under the notable Issacs’s condition on the Hamiltonian, the existence results of a saddle point are obtained for the stochastic recursive zero-sum differential game and mixed differential game problem, that is, the agents can also decide the optimal stopping time. Themain tools are backward stochastic differential equations BSDEs and double-barrier reflected BSDEs. As the motivation and applic...
متن کاملAging theories and the zero-sum game.
For generations programmed mammal aging was widely thought to be theoretically impossible. However, new evolutionary mechanics concepts have led to renewed interest in programmed aging resulting in a schism between programmed and non-programmed proponents. This article argues that this lack of consensus is damaging medical research and therefore steps should be taken to pro-actively resolve the...
