The Center of Mathematics and Applications (NOVA Math), promote the Seminar of Analysis with the title: “A mathematical framework for dynamical social interactions with dissimulation”. Max O. Souza (NOVA Math, NOVA FCT) is the speaker.
Abstract: Modeling social interactions is a challenging task that requires flexible frameworks. For instance, dissimulation and externalities are relevant features influencing such systems --- elements that are often neglected in popular models. This paper is devoted to investigating general mathematical frameworks for understanding social situations where agents dissimulate, and may be sensitive to exogenous objective information. Our model comprises a population where the participants can be honest, persuasive, or conforming. Firstly, we consider a non-cooperative setting, where we establish existence, uniqueness and some properties of the Nash equilibria of the game. Secondly, we analyze a cooperative setting, identifying optimal strategies within the Pareto front. In both cases, we develop numerical algorithms allowing us to computationally assess the behavior of our models under various settings. Joint work with Y Saporito and Y Thamsten.
