Abstract

This course presents a game-theoretic, strategic approach to modeling situations in which agents are involved in joint activities and collective decision-making. Although cooperation often provides more attractive outcomes overall, the participants in the interaction then face the problem of a fair division of the final utility. The course critically examines various concepts of divisions, with an emphasis on the logical foundations of each of them, understanding the class of real problems and their mathematical formalization, the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. The central idea of ​​the course is to learn to see and implement various opportunities for compromise within groups of agents who have individual preferences but are interested in implementing a collective outcome acceptable to all. The course also examines the main models of voting and social choice.
