Eigenvalues in microeconomics
Square matrices often arise in microeconomics, particularly in network models addressing applications from opinion dynamics to platform regulation. Spectral theory provides powerful tools for analyzing their properties. We present an accessible overview of several fundamental applications of spectral methods in microeconomics, focusing especially on the Perron-Frobenius Theorem's role and its connection to centrality measures. Applications include social learning, network games, public goods provision, and market intervention under uncertainty. The exposition assumes minimal social science background, using spectral theory as a unifying mathematical thread to introduce interested readers to some exciting current topics in microeconomic theory.

The Visual Decoding of the Wheel of Duality in Consumer Theory in Modern Microeconomics
Duality is the heart of advanced microeconomics. It exists everywhere throughout advanced microeconomics, from the beginning of consumer theory to the end of production theory. The complex, circular relationships among v…
How can a Cognitive Radar Mask its Cognition?
We study how a cognitive radar can mask (hide) its cognitive ability from an adversarial jamming device. Specifically, if the radar optimally adapts its waveform based on adversarial target maneuvers (probes), how should…
Discussion about the assumptions of Category Theory approach to agent-based modeling in microeconomics
We investigate a possible category theoretical description for agent based modeling by outlining justifications for two main principles to describe the valuations in a realistic way in microeconomics: 1) It is assumed th…
Identifying Cognitive Radars -- Inverse Reinforcement Learning using Revealed Preferences
We consider an inverse reinforcement learning problem involving us versus an enemy radar equipped with a Bayesian tracker. By observing the emissions of the enemy radar,how can we identify if the radar is cognitive (cons…
