Advances in Dynamic Games and Applications: v. 5(5 Annals of the International Society of Dynamic Games)

This text focuses on various aspects of dynamic game theory, and serves as a guide to the vitality of the field and its applications. A variety of topics are presented including: robust control design and H infinity; pursuit-evasion games; coupled dynamic and stochastic games.; recent game-theoretic developments; and select applications in ecology and environmental science.
