These games may not allow optimal strategies but they always have ε-optimal strategies. In this paper we design ε-optimal strategies for Player 1 in these games that use only O(log log T) space. Furthermore, we construct strategies for Player 1 that use space s(T), for an arbitrary small unbounded non-decreasing function s, and which guarantee an ε-optimal value for Player 1 in the limit superior sense. The previously known strategies use space Ω(log T) and it was known that no strategy can use constant space if it is ε-optimal even in the limit superior sense. We also give a complementary lower bound. Furthermore, we also show that no Markov strategy, even extended with finite memory, can ensure value greater than 0 in the Big Match, answering a question posed by Neyman [11].","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"Springer","user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","type":"conference","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.07634","open_access":"1"}],"day":"01"}
