Standard-imaginary strategy conjecture for the two-player Levine hats game
Standard-imaginary strategy conjecture for the two-player Levine hats game
Let be the class of standard-imaginary strategies and let be the class of imaginary strategies used in the continuous Levine game. For measurable strategies and in , let denote the success-indicator function. Standard-imaginary strategy conjecture.
The conjecture asserts that restricting one player to a standard-imaginary strategy and the other to an imaginary strategy gives the exact optimal value for the two-player game. It is motivated by computational evidence that this restricted approximation does not exceed , together with the fact that is attainable using strategies; no proof is given.
