OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Consider the following simple 2-person sequential game with i.i.d. payoffs. The 2 players, Max and Average, each have exactly 2 options for each
move. Max plays optimally, i.e., to maximize her payoff, and Average plays randomly. How does the expected payoff for Max depend on the distribution on payoffs?
I will describe the complexity-theoretic motivation for this question, and describe some preliminary results when the distribution on payoffs is Bernoulli.
Joint work with Andy Drucker.
