Abstract or Description
Colonel Blotto's game, originally a game theory topic, seeks strategies in a two-player game to allocate soldiers across battlefields. Through a modified version of the game, basic Enumerative Combinatorics is connected to a resource allocation problem. This talk contains joint work with Georgia Southern students Alex Collins, Charles Dedrickson, and Toby Sanders.
