Borel Games are multiplayer games with infinite horizon and general payoff functions. These types of games, first introduced by Gale and Stewart (1953), were studied within descriptive set theory in the context of two-player zero-sum games. Only recently have they attracted attention from the broader game theory community. This book is the first attempt to present a comprehensive exploration... Read more

Biography

Eilon Solan is a professor at the School of Mathematical Sciences at Tel Aviv University, specializing in Game Theory. He earned his Ph.D. in 1998 from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and spent two years at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University before joining Tel Aviv University. Solan’s research focuses on dynamic games, including stochastic games, stopping games, games with vector payoffs, infinite horizon games with general payoffs, and dynamic decision problems. He has made significant contributions to the study of equilibrium existence in dynamic games and the impact of information in games. Solan co-authored the textbook Game Theory with Michael Maschler and Shmuel Zamir, and authored the graduate-level text Introduction to Stochastic Game Theory.

"Boreal Games by Eilon Solan is a comprehensive and seminal contribution to personal, professional, and college/university library Game Theory collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists."
