Nim On The Complete Graph

نویسنده

  • Lindsay Merchant
چکیده

The two-player game of Nim on graphs is played on a regular graph with positively weighted edges by moving alternately from a fixed starting vertex to an adjacent vertex, decreasing the weight of the incident edge to a strictly smaller non-negative integer. The game ends when a player is unable to move since all edges incident with the vertex from which the player is to move have weight zero. In this paper we extend Fukuyama’s results to include a strategy for even cycles, and we give a solution to the complete graph when each edge has weight one. We also consider the recent strides made in the complete graph with arbitrary weight.

A PSPACE-complete Graph Nim

We build off the game, NimG [7] to create a version named Neighboring Nim. By reducing from Geography, we show that this game is PSPACE-hard. The games created by the reduction share strong similarities with Undirected (Vertex) Geography and regular Nim, both of which are solvable in polynomial-time. We show how to construct PSPACE-complete versions with nim heaps ∗1 and ∗2. This application of...

Nim-Regularity of Graphs

Ehrenborg and Steingŕımsson defined simplicial Nim, and defined Nimregular complexes to be simplicial complexes for which simplicial Nim has a particular type of winning strategy. We completely characterize the Nim-regular graphs by the exclusion of two vertex-induced subgraphs, the graph on three vertices with one edge and the graph on five vertices which is complete except for one missing edg...

Notes on the combinatorial game: graph Nim

The combinatorial game of Nim can be played on graphs. Over the years, various Nim-like games on graphs have been proposed and studied by N.J. Calkin et al., L.A. Erickson and M. Fukuyama. In this paper, we focus on the version of Nim played on graphs which was introduced by N.J. Calkin et al.: Two players alternate turns, each time choosing a vertex v of a finite graph and removing any number ...

A Nim game played on graphs

We propose a new impartial game played by two players, which can be compared to the well-known Nim game [1, 3, 4] played on graphs. In this paper, we consider this game and investigate its winning strategies. In the proof, Menger’s theorem [2] noted in graph theory plays a crucial role.

Deciding the Winner of an Arbitrary Finite Poset Game Is PSPACE-Complete

A poset game is a two-player game played over a partially ordered set (poset) in which the players alternate choosing an element of the poset, removing it and all elements greater than it. The first player unable to select an element of the poset loses. Polynomial time algorithms exist for certain restricted classes of poset games, such as the game of Nim. However, until recently the complexity...
