__________________________________________________

In this talk, we present a linear time algorithm that exploits strategic equivalence between bimatrix games to identify whether or not a given bimatrix game is strategically equivalent to a zero-sum game, and if it is, then we present an algorithm that computes a strategically equivalent zero-sum game. We then discuss our ongoing work on some extensions of the algorithm to more general games.
