Dear Dynamic Game Theorist,
This is the eleventh issue of the Society's electronic newsletter. The
basic minimum work principle in editing this e-letter is that the
READERS send important notes and information about symposia, conferences
and workshops of dynamic games, as well as abstracts of Ph.D. theses,
papers and books, which they want to be included in the newsletter. The
format is described below. We hope that no retyping will be needed so
please follow the instructions and sample shown below carefully.
The news should be concise to keep the newsletter readable. Requests
for more complete information about any news item should be directed to
its contributor.
We appreciate any comments and suggestions that you may have on this
e-letter. Next issue is planned to be sent out in December.
Looking forward to receiving your news contributions.
Raimo P. Hamalainen and Harri Ehtamo
P.S. The two e-mail addresses given above are in principle identical.
Depending on your network one or both of them should work. If you are
in a BITNET node you only need ISDG at FINHUT. In any case the safest
and easiest way is to use the reply command in your e-mail system.

The conference will take place at Auberge Gray Rocks, St-Jovite, in the
Laurentian mountains north of Montreal. Driving distance from Mirabel
airport to Gray Rocks is less than one hour, and from Montreal
approximatively 1h45. Transportation arrangements will be made for
participants. Further information on registration and accomodation fees
will be provided later.
Topics :
Zero-sum dynamic games
Pursuit-evasion problems
Nonzero-sum dynamic games
Incentive strategies
Cooperative equilibria
Dynamic bargaining models
Computational methods
Dynamic games in economics
Energy and resource management
AI applications to dynamic games
Environmental issues
Applications in Management Science
Evolutionary games in biology
Worst case and minimax design
Tutorials :
A preconference day of tutorials on the subject of viscosity solutions
is organized by Prof. M. Bardi (Universita degli studi di Padova,
Italy); Prof. W. Flemming (Brown University, U.S.A.) will be the
second speaker. It will be held on July 11, at Ecole des HEC, Montreal.
Plenary Lectures :
The following plenary speakers have already accepted to make
presentations:

applications of dynamic game theory
Prof. P. Bernhard (INRIA, France) on the current status of the
Isaacs-Breakwell approach
Prof. E. Maskin (Harvard University, U.S.A.), on interface in dynamic
games and economy

Position No: 351 September 1993
LECTURESHIPS IN ECONOMETRICS AND MATHEMATICAL ECONOMICS
Applications are invited from suitably qualified men and women for the
above posts in the Quantitative Studies Group of the Faculty of Commerce
and Administration. The appointees will be expected to take up their
duties as soon as possible after appointment and by 1 March 1994. The
appointments will be for three years, but may be extended.
Members of the group carry out teaching and research in the areas of
econometrics, statistics, mathematical economics and dynamic modelling
and control. Candidates could be specialists in any of these areas, or
have primary disciplines is statistics, time series, mathematics or
operations research, but work should primarily be in the application of
these techniques to problems in commerce.
The major research interests of staff in the group are econometric
theory with an emphasis on time series, applied microeconometrics
including labour markets and consumer behaviour, macroeconomic
modelling, dynamic systems models and dynamic games. The Group is
responsible for teaching service courses offered at two sites and also a
small number of intermediate and graduate courses. There will be
opportunities to teach across this range. Applicants will need to

DIFFERENTIAL GAMES OF PURSUIT
by Leon Petrosjan (St.Petersburg Univ.)
The classical optimal control theory deals with the determination of an
optimal control that optimizes the criterion subject to the dynamic
constraint expressing the evolution of the system state under the
influence of control variables. If this is extended to the case of
multiple controllers (also called players) with different and sometimes
conflicting optimization criteria (payoff functions) it is possible to
begin to explore differential games. Zero-sum differential games, also
called differential games of persuit, constitute the most developed part
of differential games and are rigorously investigated. In this book,
the full theory of differential games of pursuit with complete and
partial information is developed. Numerous concrete pursuit-evasion
games are solved ("life-line" game, simple pursuit games, etc.), and new
time-consistent optimality principles in the n-person differential game
theory are introduced and investigated.
Readership: Postgraduates and researchers in applied methematics.
