Game Theoretic Analyses Of The Tactics In Table Tennis Matches

The research,mainly by means of principles of the game theory,the thinking methodology and analytical methodology,probes into the microcosmic tactics in table tennis matches from the viewpoint of a totally new macroscopically angle so that the table tennis coaches,athletes and research specialist staff in our country can widen their thoughts,improve their tactical attainment,reduce their decision-making misplays in important matches,increase their winning probability,further enrich their analytical means in table tennis matches.The research is intended as well to provide theoretical support for Chinese table tennis team to achieve great success in 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.The conclusions of the research are as follows:(1) From the angle of the game theory,the table tennis competitive game theory is "zero-sum game".The table tennis competitive process can be divided into dynamic game theory and static game theory;the game theory in the course of the exertion of table tennis tactics can be defined as complete information dynamic game theory and incomplete information static game theory and complete but imperfect dynamic game theory.(2) After analyzing the game theory,the thesis reveals the natural characteristics of technical choice and technical exertion in table tennis competitive game theory,in which there are successive game theory and spontaneous game theory and the mixed game theory that include both of them.In the course of successive game theory,every player can take advantage of the reverse induction of "expecting forward,reasoning backward" to achieve balance.Balance is both a description and a process,but not a guide line.(3) The purpose of game theory analysis is to find out how to achieve balance. As a result,the thesis introduced three comparatively simple mathematical techniques that are often used in the game theory.They are reflective function technique, minimum and maximum technique and straight line interior extrapolation technique, which is quite maneuverable in the tactical theoretical research.However,the task has not been completed when the balance is achieved theoretically until it is put into practice.(4) The thesis,from the viewpoint of players' rationality,subjective initiative and individual psychological features,uses the game theoretical analysis to analyze the players' venture favor and their ability to undertake the ventures,which is a new trial.(5) The problem of dependence naturally exists everywhere in society,which is seldom realized in competitive sports,especially in table tennis tactics.In this thesis, the writer puts forward the principles and solution as to how to break through the problem of dependence.
