In this lecture, we introduce extensive games and perfect information in game theory.
In this lecture, we introduce graphs and trees, which are essential for representing extensive-form games.
In this lecture, we introduce the definitions of extensive form with perfect information and extensive games with perfect information, laying the foundation for analyzing sequential decision-making in game theory.
In this lecture, we study backward induction.
In this lecture, we study strategies in perfect-information games.
