Quotes About Game theory

For relaxation he could always engage Hal in a large number of semimathematical games, including checkers, chess, and polyominoes. If Hal went all out, he could win any one of them; but that would be bad for morale. So he had been programmed to win only fifty percent of the time, and his human partners pretended not to know this.
~ Arthur C. Clarke
An attacking robot follows its program, acting in accordance with focalization and optimization algorithms, differential diagnostics, and game theory—not patriotism. Military mathematics and weapons automation
~ Stanis?aw Lem
A game looks like a set of operations, but after the payoff it becomes apparent that these operations were really maneuvers; not honest requests but moves in the game.
~ Eric Berne
Ultimatum Game
~ Matt Ridley
These fields include genetics, which explains the replicators that make natural selection possible, and game theory, which illuminates the fates of goal-seeking agents in a world that contains other goal-seeking agents.2
~ Steven Pinker
All sorts of risk-benefit analyses and models of herd immunity tend to produce the conclusion that vaccination benefits the individual as well as the public. When Harvard researchers recently used game theory to build a mathematical model of vaccination behavior during an influenza epidemic, they found that even "a population of self-interested people can defeat an epidemic." No altruism is required.
~ Eula Biss
I can observe the game theory is applied very much in economics. Generally, it would be wise to get into the mathematics as much as seems reasonable because the economists who use more mathematics are somehow more respected than those who use less. That's the trend.
~ John Forbes Nash, Jr.
It was the great Hungarian-born polymath John von Neumann who first recognized that social behavior could be analyzed as games.
~ Sylvia Nasar
I think most people who bother to study 'Jeopardy!' game theory are going to arrive at similar conclusions about how to best play the game. Not everyone is going to take that step, of course.
~ James Holzhauer
In its first 30 years of existence, up to the mid 1970s, the practical applications of game theory were very limited, probably as a result of excessive preoccupation by game theorists with cooperative solution concepts.
~ John Harsanyi
This point has applications in evolutionary biology, evolutionary game theory, and conflict situations. A mild degree of unpredictability in your behavior can help you to protect yourself in situations of conflict.
~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb
If it had been up to Von Neumann's purely intellectual reasoning alone, many of the bombs he helped to create would have exploded on the Soviet Union.Thankfully, there was another thinker on hand whose deeper grasp of human foibles added a new dimension to game theory that, among other things, helped save the world from mutually assured destruction. Enter Thomas Schelling.
~ Tim Harford
Permaina adalah uraian matrmatis dari hubungan antara strategi-strategi dan kemungkinan hasil-hasilnya.
~ Tim Harford
The secret of TIT FOR TAT's success lay as much in its ruthless dark side as it did in its default sunny side; in the fact that when the going got tough it was able to step up to the plate and mix it with the best of them.
~ Kevin Dutton
To oversimplify, we overwhelmingly search out opportunities to play Stag Hunts rather than outsmart each other in Prisoner's Dilemmas.
~ Gerald F. Gaus
I did several types of work about several investigations of application of game theory to international relations.
~ Reinhard Selten
In 1958, Fortune singled Nash out for his achievements in game theory, algebraic geometry, and nonlinear theory
~ Sylvia Nasar
Cómo sabemos si es posible encontrar una solución óptima para un juego u otro problema bien definido? Un problema se considera «insoluble» si el único medio conocido para hallar la solución perfecta exige verificar un cierto número de pasos que aumenta exponencialmente con su magnitud.
~ Gerd Gigerenzer
In principle, every social situation involves strategic interaction among the participants.
~ John Harsanyi
A game is defined by the players' strategy domains and payoff functions.
~ Leonid Hurwicz
But game theory only works when the rules are clearly set out ahead of time. In the Nash bargaining game here, neither of the players was aware of another rule presently at work: that what they were bargaining over—me—might be a player in the game too. As
~ Jeffery Deaver
Game theory says that the true source of uncertainty lies in the intentions of others.
~ Peter L. Bernstein
In 1958, Anne and I returned to Australia, where I got a very attractive research position at the Australian National University in Canberra. But soon I felt very isolated because at that time game theory was virtually unknown in Australia.
~ John Harsanyi
The implication of game theory, which is also the implication of the third image, is, however, that the freedom of choice of any one state is limited by the actions of the others.
~ Kenneth Waltz
