Cooperative game theory is a branch of (micro-)economics that studies the behavior of self-interested agents in strategic settings where binding agreements among agents are possible.
This book offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to game theory, emphasizing both noncooperative and cooperative aspects of strategic decision-making.
Mathematics of Networks: Modulus Theory and Convex Optimization explores the question: "e;What can be learned by adapting the theory of p-modulus (and related continuum analysis concepts) to discrete graphs?
The application of mathematical analysis to wireless networks has met with limited success, due to the complexity of mobility and traffic models, coupled with the dynamic topology and the unpredictability of link quality that characterize such networks.
In this compilation, the authors first consider applying the Monte Carlo method to the general form of the heat equation that is used for analyzing conduction heat transfer.
