Completely symmetric configurations for sigma-games on grid graphs

Combinatorics 2009-03-03 v2 Rings and Algebras

Abstract

The paper deals with sigma-games on grid graphs (in dimension 2 and more) and conditions under which any completely symmetric configuration of lit vertices can be reached -- in particular the completely lit configuration -- when starting with the all-unlit configuration. The answer is complete in dimension 2. In dimension greater than or equal to 3, the answer is complete for the sigma^+ -game, and for the sigma^- -game if at least one of the sizes is even. The case sigma^-, dimension greater than or equal to 3 and all sizes odd remains open.
