Has anyone come across any paper on Tug Of War? I tried searching for it online but couldn't find anything. If anyone here has any sources, can you please share?

Regards

    And a couple of older papers: Murzov, N. V. The solution of some dynamic tug-of-war and pursuit games. (Russian) Litovsk. Mat. Sb. 7 1967 119–127. Petrosjan, L. A.; Murzov, N. V. The n-person tug of war game. (Russian) Vestnik Leningrad. Univ. 22 1967 no. 13, 125–129. – 2017-01-27

    But maybe you're really interested in the physics of tug of war, in which case I can recommend https://what-if.xkcd.com/127/ – 2017-01-27

    Thanks a lot. Also, on a lighter note, if you got all these from a simple google search...i should give up everything else and start working on my google skills. :-) – 2017-01-27

    No, a search of MathSciNet, which is the online version of Mathematical Reviews (which is only available by subscription – but if you're at a university, your library may have a subscription, and your librarian will be happy to show you how to use it). Oh, the xkcd page I got from typing physics of tug of war into Google. – 2017-01-27

    Alright then, I'll go right back to work. – 2017-01-27

    Voting to reopen. It's essentially a reference request (I added that tag), so I'm not sure the "missing context" complaint is relevant. – 2017-01-28

    @nimbus3000 You still should be find something using [Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=mathematics+"tug+of+war"). (It would probably work a bit better some time ago, before Google Scholar abandoned search by subject area.) – 2017-01-30

    Are you still there, nimbus? – 2017-02-01

I was sort-of joking when I mentioned this xkcd what-if essay in the comments, but in fact there's a fair bit of mathematics there, as well as some links to the literature on tug of war.
