Censorship game in optimal choice problem

  • Published:
Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

Abstract

The authors consider a game of the optimal choice where one of the players seeks to decrease the probability of selection of the best object by the other player by imposing some prohibitions and restrictions on browsing of certain elements. Optimal players’ strategies that form the Nash equilibrium are found. The asymptotic behavior of the strategies in case where the number of objects tends to infinity is studied.
