is symmetric. Through some heavy lifting in calculus, we find that the optimal density is proportional to:

import numpy as np from scipy.integrate import quad def construct_strategy(accuracy_func, derivative_func): # 1. Find the starting threshold 'a' # For a symmetric 1-bullet duel, a is found where # the integral of f(x) from a to 1 equals 1. def integrand(x): return derivative_func(x) / (accuracy_func(x)**3) # We solve for 'a' such that integral equals 1/h # (Simplified for demonstration) a = 0.33 # Derived from solving the integral for A(x)=x return lambda x: integrand(x) if x >= a else 0 # Example: Linear Accuracy A(x) = x f_optimal = construct_strategy(lambda x: x, lambda x: 1) Use code with caution.

This second part of our dive into moves from the theoretical game-theoretic framework into the actual "meat" of the implementation: constructing the optimal firing strategy.

In Part 3, we will look at , where one player is more accurate or has more bullets than the other.

When constructing the solution programmatically, two hurdles often arise: If your accuracy function starts at zero, the term explodes. We must enforce a lower bound to ensure the strategy is valid.

Should we look at the for solving the threshold when the accuracy function is complex?
