Abstract

Nowadays, games exist everywhere in people's daily life, and game theory methods should not be just formulas and words in books, but also brought into people's daily life, helping people to solve many practical problems in life. This paper selects the most common problem in the life of postgraduate students - the choice of thesis direction between postgraduate students and their supervisors, takes Nash equilibrium as the theoretical support point, analyses the "prisoner's dilemma" model in game theory, combines with the payment matrix, and finds the solution to the problem. The solution to the problem is the application of game theory in daily life, which demonstrates the close connection between games and life.
