In this work, we seek to minimize this cost by computing a \"Stackelberg punishment,\" in which the player selects a behavior that sufficiently punishes the other player while maximizing its own score under the assumption that the other player will adopt a best response. This idea generalizes the concept of a Stackelberg equilibrium.
