Eventual periodicity for finite taking-no-breaking octal games under the disjunctive sum
Let and be two finite taking-no-breaking octal games. Assume that at least one is neither nor , and that whenever and equal , , or , the corresponding scores satisfy and , while otherwise . Let be the largest entry in such that .
Disjunctive-sum periodicity conjecture. For every , there exists such that
for all .
The conjecture was previously stated with substantial supporting evidence, and the paper studies whether the same periodic behavior persists for the other operators.
