The critical bias for the Hamiltonicity game is n/ lnn

چکیده

We prove that in the biased (1 : b) Hamiltonicity Maker-Breaker game, played on the edges of the complete graph Kn, Maker has a winning strategy for b(n) ≤ ( 1− 30 ln n ) n lnn , for all large enough n.

Biased games on random boards

In this paper we analyze biased Maker-Breaker games and Avoider-Enforcer games, both played on the edge set of a random board G ∼ G(n, p). In Maker-Breaker games there are two players, denoted by Maker and Breaker. In each round, Maker claims one previously unclaimed edge of G and Breaker responds by claiming b previously unclaimed edges. We consider the Hamiltonicity game, the perfect matching...

THE CRITICAL BIAS FOR THE HAMILTONICITY GAME IS (1 + o(1))n/ lnn

A Maker-Breaker game is a triple (H, a, b), where H = (V,E) is a hypergraph with vertex set V , called the board of the game, and edge set E, a family of subsets of V called winning sets. The parameters a and b are positive integers, related to the so-called game bias. The game is played between two players, called Maker and Breaker, who change turns occupying previously unclaimed elements of V...

Online Attentional Bias Modification Training for Adolescents with Internet Gaming Disorder

Objective: Previous research has shown that attentional bias towards game-related stimuli is a significant factor in the etiology, maintenance and severity of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD). Therefore, interventions targeting attentional bias towards game-related stimuli, can potentially ameliorate this disorder. The aim of the present research was to examine the effectiveness of online Attenti...

Lectures 3 and 4 Hamiltonicity threshold in random graphs

The main aim of these two lectures is to establish the Hamiltonicity threshold in the probability space G(n, p), this is the minimum value of the edge probability p(n), for which a random graph G drawn from G(n, p) is whp Hamiltonian. By doing so we will prove a classical result of Komlós and Szemerédi [3] and independently of Bollobás [2]. Let us start by providing some intuition on where this...

On the resilience of Hamiltonicity and optimal packing of Hamilton cycles in random graphs

Let k = (k1, . . . , kn) be a sequence of n integers. For an increasing monotone graph property P we say that a base graph G = ([n], E) is k-resilient with respect to P if for every subgraph H ⊆ G such that dH(i) ≤ ki for every 1 ≤ i ≤ n the graph G − H possesses P . This notion naturally extends the idea of the local resilience of graphs recently initiated by Sudakov and Vu. In this paper we s...
