Development Team

The principal developers of Gambit are:

• Theodore Turocy, Texas A&M University: Current primary maintainer and developer.

• Richard D. McKelvey, California Institute of Technmology: project founder.

• Andrew McLennan, University of Minnesota: co-PI during main development, developer and maintainer of polynomial-based algorithms for equilibrium computation.

Much of the development of the main Gambit codebase took place in 1994-1996, under a grant from the National Science Foundation to the California Institute of Technology and the University of Minnesota (McKelvey and McLennan, principal investigators), which we gratefully acknowledge.

Other contributors

The development of Gambit has been aided in the past by:

• Eugene Grayver: development of the first version of the graphical user interface frontend and of the PXI plotting program.

• Gary Wu: extensive implementation work on the command language

• Bernhard von Stengel: Provided advice on implementation of sequence form code, and contributed clique code

Many other students at Caltech and the University of Minnesota have helped over the years with the project; their contributions are acknowledged in the documentation.
