Algorithmic Game Theory [Hardcover]

This book, first published in 2007, covers algorithmic game theory, with contributions from all the leading researchers.More than 40 of the top researchers in this field have written chapters that go from the foundations to the state of the art. Basic chapters on algorithmic methods for equilibria, mechanism design and combinatorial auctions are followed by chapters on incentives and pricing, cost sharing, information markets and cryptography and security.More than 40 of the top researchers in this field have written chapters that go from the foundations to the state of the art.

More than 40 of the top researchers in this field have written chapters that go from the foundations to the state of the art. Basic chapters on algorithmic methods for equilibria, mechanism design and combinatorial auctions are followed by chapters on incentives and pricing, cost sharing, information markets and cryptography and security. Students, researchers and practitioners alike need to learn more about these fascinating theoretical developments and their widespread practical application.Introduction Noam Nisan, Tim Roughgarden, ?va Tardos and Vijay V.
