Abstract
The paper studies a zero-sum game of resource allocation. Each player can use several types of facilities limited by its budget. The attacker’s payoff is the probability of its strategy to overcome a defender’s strategy. The authors derive the existence conditions of pure and mixed strategy solutions in the game. The method of feasible directions is considered for finding maximin and minimax strategies.
