On the Optimality of the Exponential Functions for Some Minimax Problems
Gal Shmuel, Dan Chazan · SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics · 1976
We consider a class of games in which the first player chooses a positive function and the second player chooses a number. We show that under certain conditions, the minimax strategy for the first player is an exponential function. The results obtained are applied to several search games.
