This workshop, WSMSG 2020, is in a continuation of the workshop on National Workshop on Matrix Analysis and Game Theory (MAGT 2018) held in MAHE, Manipal during December 10-21, 2018. This workshop will extend the topics of special matrices and Game theory discussed in MAGT 2018. Video lectures of MAGT 2018 are available through the following link: https://carams.in/courses/magt-2018-lectures/ .

Several interesting matrices are involved in the class of special matrices which are used in solving many problems using linear complementarity problems. Such special matrices are introduced starting with Perron theorems following necessary tutorials. With quick review of basics of game theory by introducing Nash Equilibria and Shapely value, the basics of stochastic games will be introduced and discussed in detail, including zero sum and nonzero sum games. Topics such as complementary slackness and algorithms for some special classes of stochastic games will be discussed in detail.

The pool of resource persons includes TES Raghavan, University of Illinois, Chicago, Ravindra B Bapat and S K Neogy from Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi, T Parthasarathy, Chennai Mathematical Institute and so on.
