Game Theory Seminar | Foundational and Philosophical Aspects of Game Theory and Evolution
Abstract：This introductory seminar will explore the foundational and philosophical aspects of game theory and evolution.In particular, we will examine how an evolutionary game theorist would treat the randomness of data and observations, and how it compares with the classic model by frequentists. For example, we will talk about the game theorists' approach to the randomness of choice data, hei...

Game Theory Seminar | The statistical topology theory of aging
AbstractThe traditional view suggests that aging is a progressive decline of physiological and physical function with passage of time. However, increasing evidence shows that aging may be subject to abrupt change in metabolic capacity within a certain time window of the lifespan. This phenomenon, in conjunction with the multifactorial etiology of aging, makes it extremely difficult to portray a...
