Popis: A two-person game $\Gm$ is considered which is specified by the following random walks. Let $x_n$ and $y_n$ be independent symmetric random walks on the set $E=\{0,1,\ldots,K\}$. Assume they start from the states a and b respectively $(1\le a y_{\sigma}$ then player~II pays player~I, say, \$1; if $x_{\tau} < y_{\sigma}$ then I pays II \$1; and if $x_{\tau}=y_{\sigma}$ then the outcome of the game is said to be a draw. The aim of each player is to maximize the expected value of hisincome. We find the equilibrium situation and the value of...
