This contributed volume collects talks originally given at the 18th International Symposium on Dynamic Games and Applications, held in Grenoble, France from July 9-12, 2018. Chapters present state-of-the-art research in the field of dynamic games and are written by leading experts in this active area. Featuring a broad overview of recent advances as well as a wide range of applications, this book is organized into four sections: games of conflict, evolutionary games, economic games, and games involving common interest. Within these sections, specific topics covered include: Pursuit-evasion games Partnership formation games Replicator dynamics Load balancing congestion games Equilibrium coalition structures Advances in Dynamic Games will be of particular interest to researchers and doctoral students studying game theory.

This book gives a concise presentation of the mathematical foundations of Game Theory, with an emphasis on strategic analysis linked to information and dynamics. It is largely self-contained, with all of the key tools and concepts defined in the text. Combining the basics of Game Theory, such as value existence theorems in zero-sum games and equilibrium existence theorems for non-zero-sum games, with a selection of important and more recent topics such as the equilibrium manifold and learning dynamics, the book quickly takes the reader close to the state of the art. Applications to economics, biology, and learning are included, and the exercises, which often contain noteworthy results, provide an important complement to the text. Based on lectures given in Paris over several years, this textbook will be useful for rigorous, up-to-date courses on the subject. Apart from an interest in strategic thinking and a taste for mathematical formalism, the only prerequisite for reading the book is a solid knowledge of mathematics at the undergraduate level, including basic analysis, linear algebra, and probability.
