Heuer\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Springer\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Springer\u003cbr\u003e • BISAC: General\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe structure of a Silverman game can be explained very quickly: Each of two players independently selects a number out of a prede- termined set, not necessarily the same one for both of them. The higher number wins unless it is at least k times as high as the other one; if this is the case the lower number wins. The game ends in a draw if both numbers are equal. k is a constant greater than 1. The simplicity of the rules stimulates the curiosity of the the- orist. Admittedly, Silverman games do not seem to have a direct applied significance, but nevertheless much can be learnt from their study. This book succeeds to give an almost complete overview over the structure of optimal strategies and it reveals a surprising wealth of interesting detail. A field like game theory does not only need research on broad questions and fundamental issues, but also specialized work on re- stricted topics. Even if not many readers are interested in the subject matter, those who are will appreciate this monograph.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45282401550487,"sku":"9783540592327","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783540592327.webp?v=1769302106","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/silvermans-game-a-special-class-of-two-person-zero-sum-games-9783540592327","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
