DTIC ADA596144: Games of Survival

A 2x2 zero-sum game is played continually by 2 people, the object being either survival or ruin of the opponent. There is a constant sum of money in the game. It is shown that in general the game has a solution and that these two motives are equivalent. Methods for calculating the solution are given and a particular example is worked out. A singular example is given with a discussion. A game is shown to be singular only if on a single play there is a possibility of a draw (there is a zero entry in the matrix).
