Advances in Dynamic and Evolutionary Games

This contributed volume considers recent advances in dynamic games and their applications, based on presentations given at the 16th Symposium of the International Society of Dynamic Games, held July 9-12, 2014, in Amsterdam. Written by experts in their respective disciplines, these papers cover various aspects of dynamic game theory including differential games, evolutionary games, and stochastic games. They discuss theoretical developments, algorithmic methods, and applications to fields as such as mathematical biology, environmental management, economics, engineering, and social interaction. § Specific topics include §§Pursuit-evasion games from the early days of differential game theory that are still poorly understood§§Optimal control of queues and the M/M/1 queue model§§The types of dynamic game models that can be used to analyze the evolution of competitive industries empirically§§A look at the vulnerability of wireless ad hoc networks to security threats by studying the problem of power allocation in teams of mobile agents in a conflict situation§§The effect of speculative inventories on prices of commodities where there is imperfect competition between producers§§Analysis of various possible scenarios of microbial interactions and whether or not they can lead to coexistence of species§§Application of robust control theory to a multiplayer game to study research and development investments in clean technologies in response to climate change§ § Advances in Dynamic Games presents state-of-the-art research that serves as a testament to the vitality and growth of the field of dynamic games and their applications. It will be of interest to an interdisciplinary audience of researchers, practitioners, and advanced graduate students. §
