A PSPACE-complete Graph Nim

چکیده
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 graphs can be used as a form of game sum with any games, not only Nim.

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...
متن کاملPSPACE-completeness of the Weighted Poset Game
Poset game, which includes some famous games. e.g., Nim and Chomp as sub-games, is an important two-player impartial combinatorial game. The rule of the game is as follows: For a given poset (partial ordered set), each player intern chooses an element and the selected element and it’s descendants (elements succeeding it) are all removed from the poset. A player who choose the last element is th...
متن کاملGame Values and Computational Complexity: An Analysis via Black-White Combinatorial Games
A black-white combinatorial game is a two-person game in which the pieces are colored either black or white. The players alternate moving or taking elements of a specific color designated to them before the game begins. A player loses the game if there is no legal move available for his color on his turn. We first show that some black-white versions of combinatorial games can only assume combin...
متن کاملNim On The Complete Graph
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. I...
متن کاملGraph Isomorphism is PSPACE-complete
Combining the the results of A.R. Meyer and L.J. Stockmeyer " The Equivalence Problem for Regular Expressions with Squaring Requires Exponential Space " , and K.S. Booth " Iso-morphism testing for graphs, semigroups, and finite automata are polynomiamlly equivalent problems " shows that graph isomorphism is PSPACE-complete. The equivalence problem for regular expressions was shown to be PSPACE-...
