Game Theory

Now in its second edition, this popular textbook on game theory is unrivalled in the breadth of its coverage, the thoroughness of technical explanations and the number of worked examples included. Covering non-cooperative and cooperative games, this introduction to game theory includes advanced chapters on auctions, games with incomplete information, games with vector payoffs, stable matchings and the bargaining set. This edition contains new material on stochastic games, rationalizability, and the continuity of the set of equilibrium points with respect to the data of the game. The material is presented clearly and every concept is illustrated with concrete examples from a range of disciplines. With numerous exercises, and the addition of a solution manual with this edition, the book is an extensive guide to game theory for undergraduate through graduate courses in economics, mathematics, computer science, engineering and life sciences, and will also serve as useful reference for researchers.

Owen-stable coalition partitions in games with vector payoffs

The paper is devoted to the study of multicriteria cooperative games with vector payoffs and coalition partition. The imputation which is based on the concept of the Owen value is proposed. We use it for the definition of stable coalition partition for bicriteria games. In three person cooperative game with 0-1 characteristic function the conditions under which the coalition partition is stable are found.
