The Maker-Breaker Largest Connected Subgraph game

چکیده

Given a graph G and k∈N, we introduce the following game played in G. Each round, Alice colours an uncoloured vertex of red, then Bob one blue (if any remain). Once every is coloured, wins if there connected red component order at least k, otherwise, wins. This Maker-Breaker version Largest Connected Subgraph introduced [Bensmail et al., The largest subgraph game, Algorithmica 84 (9) (2022) 2533–2555]. We want to compute cg(G), which maximum k such that G, regardless Bob's strategy. prove deciding whether cg(G)≥k PSPACE-complete, even bipartite, split, or planar graph. To better understand focus on A-perfect graphs, are graphs for cg(G)=⌈|V(G)|/2⌉, i.e., those can ensure connected. give sufficient conditions, terms minimum degrees number edges, be A-perfect. Also, show that, d≥4, arbitrarily large d-regular but no cubic with 18 Lastly, cg(G) computable linear time when P4-sparse (a superclass cographs).

Doubly Biased Maker-Breaker Connectivity Game

In this paper we study the (a : b) Maker-Breaker Connectivity game, played on the edge set of the complete graph on n vertices. We determine the winner for almost all values of a and b.

On the threshold for the Maker-Breaker H-game

We study the Maker-Breaker H-game played on the edge set of the random graph G(n, p). In this game, two players, Maker and Breaker, alternately claim unclaimed edges of G(n, p), until all the edges are claimed. Maker wins if he claims all the edges of a graph H; Breaker wins otherwise. Recently, Müller and Stojaković determined the threshold for the graph property that Maker can win this game i...

A threshold for the Maker-Breaker clique game

We look at Maker-Breaker k-clique game played on the edge set of the random graph G(n, p). In this game, two players, Maker and Breaker, alternately claim unclaimed edges of G(n, p), until all the edges are claimed. Maker wins if he claims all the edges of a k-clique; Breaker wins otherwise. We determine that the property that Maker can win this game has a threshold at n− 2 k+1 , for all k > 3....

A sharp threshold for the Hamilton cycle Maker-Breaker game

We study the Hamilton cycle Maker-Breaker game, played on the edges of the random graph G(n, p). We prove a conjecture from [13], asserting that the property that Maker is able to win this game, has a sharp threshold at log n n . Our theorem can be considered a game-theoretic strengthening of classical results from the theory of random graphs: not only does G(n, p) almost surely admit a Hamilto...

Random-Player Maker-Breaker games

In a (1 : b) Maker-Breaker game, one of the central questions is to find the maximal value of b that allows Maker to win the game (that is, the critical bias b∗). Erdős conjectured that the critical bias for many Maker-Breaker games played on the edge set of Kn is the same as if both players claim edges randomly. Indeed, in many Maker-Breaker games, “Erdős Paradigm” turned out to be true. There...
