Selecting Robust Strategies When Players Do Not Know Exactly What Game They Are Playing, Oscar Samuel Veliz

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

Game theory is a tool for modeling multi-agent decision problems and has been used to great success in modeling and simulating problems such as poker, security, and trading agents. However, many real games are extremely large and complex with multiple agent interactions. One approach for solving these games is to use abstraction techniques to shrink the game to a form that can be solved by removing details and translating a solution back to the original.However, abstraction introduces error into the model. This research studies ways to analyze games, abstractions, and strategies that are robust to noise in the game.
