keywords CONTROL, CONTROL SYSTEMS, EQUILIBRIUM STABILITY, GAME THEORY, OPTIMIZATION

Reference persons ALESSANDRO RIZZO, LORENZO ZINO

Description Controlling evolutionary game-theoretic dynamics is a problem of paramount importance, with several applications spanning from social sciences to ecological and engineering fields.

In this thesis, we focus on the problem of controlling a population game, toward steering such a population to a specified equilibrium that represents a desired collective behavior. For example, to promote cooperation in the prisoner's dilemma.

In our research group, we proposed a family of controllers to achieve our goal. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the performance of such class and optimize them using tools from the theory of dynamics on networks, optimization, and control
