On a vertex-capturing game

چکیده
In this paper, we study the recently introduced scoring game played on graphs called Edge-Balanced Index Game. This is a graph by two players, Alice and Bob, who take turns colouring an uncoloured edge of graph. plays first colours edges red, while Bob blue. The ends once all have been coloured. A player captures vertex if more than half its incident are coloured that player, most vertices wins. Using classical arguments from field, prove general properties game. Namely, there no in which can win (if optimally), never capture 2 optimally). Through dedicated arguments, then investigate specific game, focus outcome when particular classes. Specifically, determine paths, cycles, complete bipartite graphs, Cartesian grids, give partial results for trees graphs.

On the Path-Avoidance Vertex-Coloring Game
For any graph F and any integer r ≥ 2, the online vertex-Ramsey density of F and r, denoted m∗(F, r), is a parameter defined via a deterministic two-player Ramsey-type game (Painter vs. Builder). This parameter was introduced in a recent paper [arXiv:1103.5849 ], where it was shown that the online vertex-Ramsey density determines the threshold of a similar probabilistic one-player game (Painter...
متن کاملA vertex and edge deletion game on graphs
Starting with a graph, two players take turns in either deleting an edge or deleting a vertex and all incident edges. The player removing the last vertex wins. We review the known results for this game and extend the computation of nim-values to new families of graphs. A conjecture of Khandhawit and Ye on the nim-values of graphs with one odd cycle is proved. We also see that, for wheels and th...
متن کاملA game based on vertex-magic total labelings
For a given graph G, let V be the number of vertices and E be the number of edges. Consider a labeling of the vertices and edges which is a one-to-one mapping of the set of integers {1, 2, . . . , V + E} onto the vertices and edges of the graph, with the property that for every vertex the sum of the labels assigned to that vertex and all edges incident with it is some constant k. Although work ...
متن کاملCapturing Player Experience with Post-Game Commentaries
Player experience is at the heart of good game design, but designers typically have limited experience data to work with. Detailed and fine-grained accounts of gaming experience would be of great value to designers and researchers alike, but recording such data is a significant challenge. We describe an approach based on post-game player commentaries, retrospective verbal reports cued by video ...
متن کاملCapturing an Evader in Polygonal Environments: A Complete Information Game
Suppose an unpredictable evader is free to move around in a polygonal environment of arbitrary complexity that is under full camera surveillance. How many pursuers, each with the same maximum speed as the evader, are necessary and sufficient to guarantee a successful capture of the evader? The pursuers always know the evader's current position through the camera network, but need to physically ...
