The goal of this document is to provide a computationally practical guide to game-theoretic problems. We discuss the current intractibility of finding Nash Equilibria exactly, and of even specifying a game in normal form for a large number of players. But hope is not lost. Efficiently computable solution concepts are presented as alternatives to Nash Equilibria, with a corresponding notion of P...

We start with a review of some elements from last lecture. Let us consider a marketplace where the excess demand on goods is a well-defined vector-valued function f(p) of the prices p. This happens, e.g., when traders’ utility functions are strictly concave, so that they have unique utility-optimizing bundles. In this case, the excess demand function is the difference of the total demand and th...

The point (0.5, 0.5, 0.5) ∈ P1, i.e. it satisfies the constraints above; however it is not in the convex hull of the matching vectors. The above example motivates the following family of additional constraints (introduced by Edmonds). Observe that for any matching M , the subgraph induced by M on any odd cardinality vertex subset U has at most (|U | − 1)/2 edges. Thus, without losing any of the...

background and purpose: biochemistry is extremely difficult in preclinical medical education because of the monotonous use of lectures, tutorials, practical and end of semester load with end of semester examination. although several studies have been carried out on learning biochemistry in europe and america, asian studies are very few and literature in the sri lankan context is lacking. we aim...
