Abstract

Game theory usually analyses decision‐making processes in various fields. There are different methods of solving decision related problems. Game theory focuses on problem solution from one player s point of view, while game theory emphasizes its analysis in the interaction among many players. Much of game theory is concerned with finite, discrete games, which have a finite number of players, moves, events, outcomes, etc. Many researchers in different research fields’ work applied the game theory in: construction engineering, management area. The article presents review of 42 years of scientific work of Professor Friedel Peldschus in the fields of game theory application in construction engineering and management. A review of scientific achievements and activity of Professor Friedel Peldschus, focusing on his research. Santrauka Taikant lošimų teoriją analizuojami sprendimu priemimo procesai įvairiose srityse. Yra įvairiu būdų spręsti problemas. Lošimu teorija gali būti orientuota į problemą vieno lošejo požiūriu ir gali analizuoti daugelio lošeju tarpusavio sąveiką. Daugiausiai lošimu teorija susijusi su galutiniais atskirais lošimais, kurių ribotas dalyvių skaičius, judėjimas, įvykiai, rezultatai ir t. t. Daugelis įvairių mokslinių sričių tyreju taiko lošimo teoriją statybos inžinerijos, valdymo srityse. Straipsnyje pateikiama prof. Friedel Peldschus 42 metų mokslinių tyrimų apžvalga apie lošimų teorijos taikymą statybos inžinerijos ir vadybos srityse, nagrinejami moksliniai pasiekimai ir veikla, atkreipiamas dėmesys į pasiektus mokslinių tyrimų rezultatus.

Highlights

Game theory depends on groups of operational research methods
Most books and monographs have been published in collaboration with German and Lithuanian colleagues. The reviews of these books were published in scientific journals (Rutkauskas 1995; Skitmore and Koznan 1997; Ginevičius 1998; Podvezko 2008)
Professor Friedel Peldschus actively collaborated with his colleagues from abroad and wrote a number of forewords to (Peldschus 2000b, 2007c) and reviews of their books (Štercelis and Peldschus 1988; Peldschus 1988, 2008d)

Summary

Introduction

Game theory depends on groups of operational research methods. Many authors have proposed various classifications of operational research methods, and have not presented an undivided classification. Operational research methods include matching groups: MCDM – Multi-Criteria Decision Making, MADM – Multi-Attribute Decision Making Methods, MODM – Multi Objective Decision Making Methods, game theory, etc. The solution problem methods applying MCDM so far, differ from each other in quality and quantity of additional information required. Applying MCDM, the problem is solved in a finite number of alternatives and there is a family of performance measures on which the alternatives are evaluated. According to Mareschal (1986), the problem could have a third dimension if it involves multi-criteria and/or uncertainties in performance measure evaluations. Operational research methods attempt at solving certain problems for scientific and practical use in various fields
