Course Description & Objectives

Objective: The objective of the course is to get the student well-versed with the literature in the context of computational game theory. The first module (Sessions 1 and 2) briefly introduces the polyhedral theory and computational complexity. The second module (Sessions 3 to 14) provides a thorough understanding of the recent algorithmic developments in the area of game theory. The last module (Sessions 15 to 28) discusses how these techniques could be applied to managerial business problems.
