OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
