Russian Contributions To Game Theory And Equilibrium Theory

The research of Soviet scientists within the field of game theory, starting around 1965 under the supervision of N. N. Vorobev, one of the leading experts in the field, has resulted in many high-level publications. The purpose of this book is to report about the highly qualified research by Russian game theorists during the two decades 1968 - 1988 to the international readership. The book contains a collection of contributions in game theory and the related field of equilibrium theory which never had been published in English before. A short historical survey about the development of game theory in the USSR before 1990 is given in the introduction.
