Game saturation of intersecting families

Balázs Patkós, Máté Vizer (2014)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

We consider the following combinatorial game: two players, Fast and Slow, claim k-element subsets of [n] = 1, 2, …, n alternately, one at each turn, so that both players are allowed to pick sets that intersect all previously claimed subsets. The game ends when there does not exist any unclaimed k-subset that meets all already claimed sets. The score of the game is the number of sets claimed by the two players, the aim of Fast is to keep the score as low as possible, while the aim of...

Permissive strategies : from parity games to safety games

Julien Bernet, David Janin, Igor Walukiewicz (2002)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

It is proposed to compare strategies in a parity game by comparing the sets of behaviours they allow. For such a game, there may be no winning strategy that encompasses all the behaviours of all winning strategies. It is shown, however, that there always exists a permissive strategy that encompasses all the behaviours of all memoryless strategies. An algorithm for finding such a permissive strategy is presented. Its complexity matches currently known upper bounds for the simpler problem...
