In this paper, a gentle introduction to Game Theory is presented in the form of basic concepts and examples. Minimax and Nash's theorem are introduced as the formal definitions for optimal strategies and equilibria in zero-sum and nonzero-sum games. Several elements of cooperative gaming, coalitions, voting ensembles, voting power and collective efficiency are described in brief. Analytical (matrix) and extended (tree-graph) forms of game representation is illustrated as the basic tools for…

Social responsibility is the crucial factor in adopting early vaccination plans
In this work, early vaccination is formulated under a game-theoretic view with preference ranking and expectation maximization, in order to explore the constraints and conditions under which individuals are keen to opt-in for getting vaccinated.

Collective decision efficiency and optimal voting mechanisms: A comprehensive overview for multi-classifier models
A new game-theoretic approach for combining multiple classifiers is proposed, and a fully adaptive version of WMRs is proposed as a statistically invariant way of adjusting the design process of the optimal WMR to the arbitrary non-symmetrical properties of the underlying feature space.
Games with Incomplete Information Played by "Bayesian" Players, I-III: Part I. The Basic Model&
The paper develops a new theory for the analysis of games with incomplete information where the players are uncertain about some important parameters of the game situation, such as the payoff functions, the strategies available to various players, the information other players have about the game, etc.
