We analyse active space debris removal efforts from a strategic, game-theoretical perspective. Space debris is non-manoeuvrable, human-made objects orbiting Earth, which pose a significant threat to operational spacecraft. Active debris removal missions have been considered and investigated by...

We study the performance of Fictitious Play (FP), when used as a heuristic for finding an approximate Nash equilibrium of a two-player game. We exhibit a class of two-player games having payoffs in the range <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$[0,1]$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> that show that FP fails to find a solution having an additive approximation...</equationsource></inlineequation>
