Abstract : In this work we offer an O(|V|² |E| W) pseudo-polynomial time deterministic algorithm for solving the Value Problem and Optimal Strategy Synthesis in Mean Payoff Games. This improves by a factor log(|V| W) the best previously known pseudo-polynomial time upper bound due to Brim et al. The improvement hinges on a suitable characterization of values, and a description of optimal positional strategies, in terms of reweighted Energy Games and Small Energy-Progress Measures.
Keywords : mean payoff games value problem optimal strategy synthesis energy games small energy-progress measures pseudo-polynomial Time
