OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Min-max trees
On a regular tree, assign each vertex a random independent value. Two players alternate choosing a child of the current vertex. When reaching level n, player 1 receives from player 2 the cumulative sum of the values along the chosen path. We show that in some cases the value of this game converges as n\to\infty. Joint with Gourab Ray and Yinon Spinka.
