Game Theory and Nash Equilibrium - Lecture 9

Overview

Explore game theory concepts in this 47-minute lecture, focusing on Nash Equilibrium and its applications. Analyze the "Choosing Numbers" game, delve into the Investment Game, and examine the Cats & Kittens scenario. Review best response strategies before diving into Nash Equilibrium, with two detailed examples provided. Conclude by applying Nash Equilibrium principles to the previously discussed Investment and Numbers games. Part of the COMP3200 Intro to Artificial Intelligence course at Memorial University, this lecture builds on algorithmic techniques and data structures used in modern AI problem-solving environments.
