Asymptotic cones and functions in optimization and variational inequalities

This book provides a systematic and comprehensive account of asymptotic sets and functions from which a broad and useful theory emerges in the areas of optimization and variational inequalities. Mainly it is concerned with the existence of solutions of a given problem in these classes ...

ICM Millennium lectures on games

This volume gathers together 26 selected papers from the International Congress of Mathematicians´ 1st Satellite Conference on Game Theory and its Applications (2002). It contains four sections: Foundations, Concepts, and Structure; Equilibrium Properties; Applications to the Natural and Social Sciences; Computational Aspects of Games. The ...

Behavioral game theory

experiments in strategic interaction

Game theory, the formalized study of strategy, began in the 1940s by asking how emotionless geniuses should play games, but ignored until recently how average people with emotions and limited foresight actually play games. This book marks the first substantial and authoritative effort to close ...

Information dissemination in currency crises

As the complexity of financial markets keeps growing, so does the need to understand the decision-making and the coordination of the exsuing actions in the marketplace. In particular, the disclosure of information to market participants and its impact on the market outcome mertis attention. This ...

Financial market risk

measurement and analysis

This title uses advanced signal processing technology to measure and analyse risk phenomena of the financial markets. It explains how to scientifically measure, analyse and manage non-stationarity and long- term time dependence (long memory) of financial market returns. It studies, in particular, financial crises in ...

Income, wealth, and the maximum principle

This compact and original exposition of optimal control theory and applications is designed for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in economics. It presents a new elementary yet rigorous proof of the maximum principle and a new way of applying the principle that will enable students ...

Fixed point theory

This monograph gives a carefully worked out account of the most basic principles and applications of the theory of fixed points. Until now, a treatment of many of the discussed topics has been unavailable in book form. The presentation is self-contained and is accessible to ...

General equilibrium analysis

existence and optimality properties of equilibra

General Equilibrium Analysis is a systematic exposition of the Walrasian model of economic equilibrium with a finite number of agents, as formalized by Arrow, Debreu and McKenzie at the beginning of the fifties and since then extensively used, worked and studied. Existence and optimality of ...

Matemágicas

A través de jeroglíficos, ejercicios de adivinación o transmisión del pensamiento y otras propuestas esotéricas, el autor expone los elementos fundamentales de las matemáticas; también añade reflexiones curiosas mediante cuentos filosóficos y textos literarios o teatrales. Todo ello para disfrutar tranquilamente de la magia de ...

Introduction to Monte-Carlo Methods for transport and diffusion

Methods for transport and diffusion equations

Monte-Carlo methods is the generic term given to numerical methods that use sampling of random numbers. This text is aimed at graduate students in mathematics, physics, engineering, economics, finance and the biosciences who are interested in using Monte-Carlo methods for the resolution of partial differential ...

Time-discrete systems analysis, contrallability and optimisation of time-discrete systems and dynamical games

Focuses on the analysis, optimization and controllability of time- discrete dynamical systems and games under the aspect of stability, controllability and (for games) cooperative and non-cooperative treatment. The investigation of stability is based on Lyapunov's method which is generalized to non-autonomous systems. Optimization and ...

Games for business and economics

An easy-to-read, and enjoyable introduction to game theory! This clearly written book shows readers how to set up and solve games, particularly those in economics and business, using game theory. Gardener's innovative approach helps readers develop strong modeling skills by using proven applications and ...

Economic theory and global warming

In this book, Professor Uzawa modifies and extends the theoretical premises of orthodox economic theory to those broad enough to be capable of analyzing the phenomena related to environmental disequilibrium, particularly global warming, and of finding institutional arrangements and policy measures that may bring about ...

Asymmetric information in financial markets

introduction and applications

Asymmetric information (the fact that borrowers have better information than their lenders) and its theoretical and practical evidence now forms part of the basic tool kit of every financial economist. It is a phenomenon that has major implications for a number of economic and financial ...

Computationals models in political economy

Researchers are increasingly turning to computational methods to study the dynamic properties of political and economic systems. Politicians, citizens, interest groups, and organizations interact in dynamic, complex environments, and the static models that are predominant in political economy are limited in capturing fundamental features of ...
