MathMods :: Joint MSc

Additional Info

• ECTS credits: 6
• University: University of L'Aquila
• Semester: 3
• Lecturer 1: Massimiliano Giuli
• Objectives:

   

  The goal of this course is to describe some mathematical models of strategic interaction among rational decision-makers.
  
  We provide knowledge of the main mathematical tools of nonlinear and set-valued analysis which are crucial for studying the existence and the stability of the solutions of particular equilibrium problems such as variational and quasi-variational inequalities and non-cooperative games.

• Topics:

   

  We cover aspects of pure mathematics such as continuity notions and fixed point theorems for set-valued maps (Browder, Kakutani, Fan-Glicksberg) and we study the the existence of solutions for problems arising in behavioral and social science, among which Nash equilibria and Ky Fan minimax inequalities.
