課程目標 |
This course is designed for senior and graduate level engineering students to study static and dynamic optimization problems among multiple decision-makers (DMs) in a networked system, where each DM has his/her own objective function, accesses to public and private information, and possesses individual decision-making authorities. The course goals are as follows:
(i) to develop students’ common sense for gaming problems and the role of information;
(ii) to equip students with interdisciplinary models, theories, and solution methods from mathematical optimization, system and control, and economic game; and
(iii) to guide students in applications to networked systems of their interest via case studies.
To achieve the course goal, there are three course segments. The first segment covers the mathematical background and the basic game theory. The second segment focuses on team and game decision-making with imperfect information. The final segment includes both lectures and term projects on real application cases such as pricing of communication network services, market design of supply chain and problems of students’ interest. |
