Title: Complementarity problems and non-cooperative games
Speaker: Gokul Raj, Central University of Tamil Nadu
Day, Date, and Time: Wednesday, 27th January 2021, 4.30 PM to 5.30 PM
Abstract of the talk:
Game theory plays a pivotal role in the analysis of economic and optimization problems. For instance, quadratic programming problems can be solved by analyzing the corresponding bimatrix games. In this talk, I will present my research experience in the generalization of the non-cooperative two-person game and its applications to the theory of complementarity problems and matrix theory. Also, I would present my proposed work to be carried out at the Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, IIT Bombay.
About the Speaker:
Gokul Raj received his B.Sc. in Mathematics from Bharathiar University, Coimbatore in 2013 and his M.Sc. in Mathematics from Pondicherry University, Pondicherry in 2015. Since 2015, he has been a research scholar at the Department of Mathematics, Central University of Tamil Nadu, where he was also a UGC Junior Research Fellow from 2016 to 2018 and a UGC-Senior Research Fellow from 2018 to 2020. His primary research interest lies in the areas of Optimization, Game Theory, and Matrix Theory. During his doctoral study, he has published research articles that are broadly in the areas of Game Theory and Optimization. Also, he has assisted two undergraduate courses and he was one of the mentors at the MTTS camp. He has participated in a number of ATM (Annual Training in Mathematics) schools and quite a few international conferences. As a highlight, last year he has participated and presented a paper at the “International Conference on Matrix Analysis and its Applications” held in the Czech Republic. He has submitted his Doctoral thesis in September 2020. His prospective research focuses on exploring the relationship between Game Theory and Optimization.
