Random Tug-of-War games and the infinity Laplacian

In this work we introduce and analyze a new random Tug-of-War game in which one of the players has the power to decide at each turn whether to play a round of classical random Tug-of-War, or let the other player choose the new game position in exchange of a fixed payoff. We prove that this game has...
