Based on that, a parallel solution method is developed in which processors carry out under-relaxed Jacobi steps for the players. Strong convergence of the method is proved and the ratio of linear convergence estimated. Computational results are highly encouraging.}, author = {Kallio, M. J. and Ruszczynski, A.} }
