The opportunity to play online has generated competitive, cooperative and community-based practices around video games giving rise to electronic sport. This new leisure has created a complex and changing environment. Se...

International audience A correspondence P associates to every subset A ⊆ N a partition P ( A ) of A and to every game ( N , v ) , the P -restricted game ( N , v ¯ ) defined by v ¯ ( A ) = ∑ F ∈ P ( A ) v ( F ) for all A ⊆ N . We give necessary and sufficient conditions on P to have inheritance of co...

This thesis is concerned with new models of mean field games. First, we study models of optimal stopping and impulse control in the case when there is no common noise. We build an appropriate notion of solutions for those models. We prove the existence and the uniqueness of such solutions under natu...

The use of synthetic worlds in the teaching/learning of languages remains controversial in France. International research (Jarmon et al.; Wigham and Chanier) show the educational value of these innovative schemes that leave room for the learner’s creativity and facilitate learning. We wanted to chec...

In this paper, we propose a novel class of Nash problems for Cognitive Radio (CR) networks, modeled as Gaussian frequency-selective interference channels, wherein each secondary user (SU) competes against the others to maximize his own opportunistic throughput by choosing jointly the sensing duratio...

The 17th century, the century of galantry in France, sees a fun culture of conversation in the courtyard and in the fairs, in the context of precious values. It is extended in prose or worthwhile fun literature that continues the mondaine conversation in minor genres, often gathered in collective co...

As Leibniz’s interlocutor, as Pascal’s sounding (and controversy) reader, and as a distant heir of Épicure, Fontenelle has every reason not to ignore the moral and philosophical importance of the game. Indeed, Fontenelle’s thinking meets the issue of gambling in various ways. In a literal sense, Fon...

Alice followed the rabbit down the rabbit-hole, without thinking about how she was going to get out… Alice and her Wonderland falls in our audiovisual culture and nobody is thinking that she was going to get out.

We present a linear--quadratic Stackelberg game with a large number of followers and we also derive the mean field limit of infinitely many followers. The relation between optimization and mean-field limit is studied and conditions for consistency are established. Finally, we propose a numerical met...

Using wargames with figures in university management courses... What kind of idea? However, it is the latest development of the EdUTeam educational and research project that consists of designing segregated pedagogical devices by implementing certain courses for the management of leisure games for t...

The interplay of social structure and cooperative behavior is under much scrutiny lately as behavior in social contexts becomes increasingly relevant for everyday life.
