Approximation Algorithm for Security Games with Costly Resources

In recent years, algorithms for computing game-theoretic solutions have been developed for real-world security domains. These games are between a defender, who must allocate her resources to defend potential targets, and an attacker, who chooses a target to attack. Existing work has assumed the set of defender’s resources to be fixed. This assumption precludes the effective use of approximation...
