Walker-Breaker Games

We introduce and analyze the Walker-Breaker game, a variant of Maker-Breaker games where Maker is constrained to choose edges of a walk or path in a given graph G, with the goal of visiting as many vertices of the underlying graph as possible.

Tripping the HCN Breaker

Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels regulate neuronal excitability, pacemaking, dendritic integration, and homeostatic plasticity and are culprits in aberrant neuronal activity in certain epilepsies. In this issue of Neuron two manuscripts (Santoro et al. and Zolles et al.) report that HCN channel gating and expression are controlled by Trip8b (Pex5R) but with a b...

Hitting time results for Maker-Breaker games

We analyze classical Maker-Breaker games played on the edge set of a randomly generated graph G. We consider the random graph process and analyze, for each of the properties “being spanning k-vertex-connected” , “admitting a perfect matching”, and “being Hamiltonian”, the first time when Maker starts having a winning strategy for building a graph possessing the target property (the so called hi...
