Epistemic Logic, Game Theory and Behavior - a podcast by MCMP Team

Rohit Parikh (CUNY) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (29 October, 2015) titled "Epistemic Logic, Game Theory and Behavior". Abstract: Enormous developments have taken place in epistemic reasoning since the foundational work of Hintikka and Lewis. But the entry of computer scientists in this area has made for much more rapid and more technical developments. We will cover the following topics: (a) Kripke structures and Aumann structures; (b) Formalism and completeness; (c) Communication and change in knowledge thereby; (d) The dependence of action on states of knowledge; (e) Manipulation of actions via manipulation of knowledge; (f) Deducing states of belief from the observation of actions. We will use examples from literature, animal behavior and the behavior of children.
