Abstract

From the ancient game theory thought to the increasingly advanced game theory, the concept of game theory has always played an important role in human development. Nowadays, computer technology has become increasingly mature, and there are many applications of game theory among them. This study will introduce the use of three game theories in computer science. Firstly, in the field of machine learning, game theory can model agent interactions, ultimately finding Nash equilibrium, and providing the best solution for each agent. Additionally, in network security, the application of game theory is also very common. Game theory can model the interaction of attackers and defenders, thereby obtaining the best strategy for defense systems for defenders. In the field of social networking, game theory can help community administrators predict user behavior, analyze data, and design better algorithms or mechanisms to help establish a more complete community and create a better environment for the community. Game theory is a powerful tool, and its application has created more powerful systems, not only making great contributions to the development of computer systems, but also playing a significant role in ensuring the information security of all the computer users.
