Notice: The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates. Full accuracy metrics and methodology are described in Coakley et alK. L. Coakley, T. Snelleman, H. Hoos, and O. E. Gundersen, "The embrace of open science: An analysis of a decade of AI research and 56 800 conference papers," Under Review, 2026..

Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We perform numerical experiments that show that the proposed strategy provides a fast and good approximation to the equilibrium even for moderate numbers of battlefields. Our experiments run on a computer with an Intel core i5-7500U 2.60GHz processor and 8GB of RAM.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: DIU strategy generation algorithm. Algorithm 2: Dynamic programing algorithm searching for player B s best-response (tie-breaking rule α = 0).
Open Source Code Yes Our code for these experiments can be found at https://github. com/dongquan11/Approx discrete Blotto
Open Datasets No For each set of values n, m, p, we independently generate a value for each battlefield uniformly distributed in [vmin, vmax], with vmin = 1 and vmax = 8. The paper describes synthetic data generation but does not provide access information for a public dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes generating game instances and running simulations, but it does not specify train/validation/test splits for a dataset.
Hardware Specification Yes Our experiments run on a computer with an Intel core i5-7500U 2.60GHz processor and 8GB of RAM.
Software Dependencies No We construct several numerical experiments using R. The paper mentions the software 'R' but does not specify a version number or any other software dependencies with versions.
Experiment Setup Yes In all the experiments, we keep α = 0 and λ = p/m fixed, thus the values of m and p always have the same growth rate (up to the multiplicative constant λ); and we vary n and m. For each set of values n, m, p, we independently generate a value for each battlefield uniformly distributed in [vmin, vmax], with vmin = 1 and vmax = 8. Then, for each instance of n, m, p, (v1, v2, . . . , vn) we run the simulation 3 times, each time computing the e CDFs with K = 10 n to ensure not to affect the evaluation on ε and running Algorithm 2 with these e CDFs to compute ε, and take the average of results.
