Cancer Treatment and Research #6: Coherent Structures and Simple Games

Cancer Treatment and Research #6: Coherent Structures and Simple Games Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Having noted that many of the concepts well known in game theory were rediscovered much later by researchers in reliability theory, and continue to be explored separately, with much duplication of effort, in the two fields, Ramamurthy, from the Indian Statistical Institute in New Delhi, shows the equivalence of coherent structure and simple games, and the parallel or analogous relation between other sets of concepts. Among the chapters are discussions of components and power of players, modules and modular sets, and social choice. The treatment is highly mathematical.
