Topic: Network Game: Game Theory around Us

Speaker: Hu Xudong

Abstract: Game theory, as an important branch of Operations Research, is used to establish mathematical models for phenomena with multi-party competition or cooperation, and to study the theories and methods of adopting optimal corresponding strategies under the constraints of specific conditions by related parties. Game theory has been extensively applied in economics, biology, computer science, political science, military science, and many other disciplines. As Nobel Laureate in Economics Paul Samuelson said: "If you want to be a literate person in modern society, you should have a general knowledge about game theory." The speaker will introduce the basic concepts, ideas and methods involved in game theory through several classic game issues and models around us.

Introduction of Speaker: Hu Xudong, researcher and doctoral tutor; the current chairman of Operations Research Society of China. He graduated from Tsinghua University in 1985 with a bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and later obtained a doctorate in Operations Research and Cybernetics in 1989 from the Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since 1989, he has been engaged in the theoretical research and teaching of Operations Research in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, oriented in combinatorial optimization, network games, and approximation algorithms. He was awarded the 5th "National Excellent Worker in Science and Technology" In 2012 and the "Pollyanna Chu Outstanding Teacher of the Chinese Academy of Sciences" in 2016.
