The infinite duration lying oracle game. (English) Zbl 1290.91033
The authors present a variant of the lying oracle game where the game’s duration is infinite. The way the oracle predicts is by specifying a set $$X$$ of lie patterns to which the oracle’s responses must conform (the set $$X$$ is known to both the oracle and the player). The main goal is to prove that if $$X$$ is a set of lie patterns of infinite length, then the player has a strategy which yields a minimum bounded expected fortune.
