Gendered pronouns

[edit]

Although the use of "he" and "his" in gender ambiguous context was standard, this is no longer the case in many academic publications (the area discussed in this article). Since it does not introduce any ambiguity or awkwardness to use "her", I have reverted a change that changed "her" to "his". If it is important to you that it be "his", please bring it up here first.

For example see the last question in this question and answer page at the chicago manual of style: [1]. --best, kevin ···Kzollman | Talk··· 02:22, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the example game is Rock Paper Scissors. Maybe this should be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.145.134.4 (talk) 01:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 07:20, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the game is actually incorrect; it should be non-zero-sum, with entries -1 → 1 and 1 → 2. Correcting now.Caosuomo (talk) 05:50, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rate of convergence

[edit]

My experience is that FP is godawful slow to converge. The simplest nontrivial two-person zero-sum game, Matching Pennies, has O(1/sqrt(n)) error after n iterations. There should be some mention of the typical convergence rate, and known methods for accelerating it. Surely some work has been done on this? Joule36e5 (talk) 09:46, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, there has been some, e.g., https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.08418. I don't know enough to write a section on it though. HoboMcJoe (talk) 18:54, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yuyumao Property

[edit]

Can someone familiar with this area either indicate whether this property was totally made up or legitimate? I can't find any reference to someone called Yuyumao, Ridge, or a conference called Step. Tekhnofiend (talk) 00:47, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
