Dr. Jin Xu: Networksin Conflict: A Variational Inequality Approach
On 30 November, 2018, we welcomed the speaker Dr. Jin Xu from Shandong University. Heis Associate Professor of Operations Research at the School of Mathematics. Hisresearch interest focuses on Strategic interactions in networks and theirimplications on firms' operational decision making.
In the seminar, Dr. Xu presented his last research “Networksin Conflict: A Variational Inequality Approach”, which studies a contest gameamong players fighting in a nexus of conflicts, showing that the set of purestrategy Nash equilibria is nonempty and convex, and provides equivalentcharacterizations using techniques from Variational Inequality (VI).
More than 20teachers and students of the School of Economics and Management have participatedin the seminar and discussed the study with Dr. Xu. We are looking forward tothe Bi-Week Applied Economics Colloquium next week.
