Abstract

For fixed accuracy functions, let Gnm be a non-discrete duel in which the amounts of ammunition available to the two players are n and m, respectively. Let vnm be the value of Gnm and let the support of the optimal pure strategies for the players be (anm, 1). The asymptotic relationships among the quantities n, m, vnm and anm are investigated.
