The notion of a symmetric linear (cone) game was +introduced by Gowda and Ravindran in *On the game-theoretic value of a +linear transformation relative to a self-dual cone*. I've extended +their results to asymmetric cones and two interior points in my +thesis, which does not exist yet. + +The main idea can be gleaned from Gowda and Ravindran, however. +Additional details and our problem formulation can be found in the +full Dunshire documentation. The state-of-the-art is that only +symmetric games can be solved efficiently, and thus the linear games +supported by Dunshire are a compromise between the two: the cones are +symmetric, but the players get to choose two interior points. + +Only the nonnegative orthant and the ice-cream cone are supported at +the moment. The symmetric positive-semidefinite cone is coming soon.
