Professor van den Brink is an expert of a research field called cooperative game theory. This theory aims to mathematically analyze the cooperative relationships in society.<\/p>\n<p>In modern society, there are many networks that connect economic agents. In a network, some agents have many connections to others, while some agents have few. Professor van den Brink introduced the concept of centrality measure, which measures the strength of connections. Using this, he introduced a solution concept that represents the power of each agent in a network. An example of the application of this theory is the internet, a network connecting many webpages. Using the solution concept, we can derive a ranking representing the popularity of webpages.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2807\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC02408-610x348.jpg\" alt=\"DSC02408\" width=\"610\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC02408-610x348.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC02408-768x438.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC02408-940x536.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2805\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC02413-360x270.jpg\" alt=\"DSC02413\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC02413-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC02413-610x458.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC02413-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC02413-940x705.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DSC02413-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/>Many graduate students attended the seminar.
