Generalized Colonel Blotto Game

Competitive resource allocation between adversarial decision makers arises in a wide spectrum of real-world applications such as in communication systems, cyber-physical systems security, as well as financial, political, and electoral competition. As such, developing analytical tools to model and analyze competitive resource allocation is crucial for devising optimal allocation strategies and anticipating the potential outcomes of the competition. To this end, the Colonel Blotto game is one of the most popular game-theoretic frameworks for modeling and analyzing such competitive resource allocation problems. However, in many real-world competitive situations, the Colonel Blotto game does not admit solutions in deterministic strategies and, hence, one must rely on analytically complex mixed-strategies with their associated tractability, applicability, and practicality challenges. In this paper, a generalization of the Colonel Blotto game which enables the derivation of deterministic, practical, and implementable equilibrium strategies is proposed while accounting for the heterogeneity of the battlefields. In addition, the proposed generalized game enables accounting for the consumed resources in each battlefield, a feature that is not considered in the classical Blotto game. For the generalized game, the existence of a Nash equilibrium in pure-strategies is shown. Then, closed-form analytical expressions of the equilibrium strategies, are derived and the outcome of the game is characterized; based on the number of resources of each player as well as the valuation of each battlefield. The generated results provide invaluable insights on the outcome of the competition. For example, the results show that, when both players are fully rational, the more resourceful player can achieve a better total payoff at the Nash equilibrium, a result that is not mimicked in the classical Blotto game.
