Compound Node-Kayles on Paths

Discrete Mathematics 2009-04-23 v2

Abstract

In his celebrated book "On Number and Games" (Academic Press, New-York, 1976), J.H. Conway introduced twelve versions of compound games. We analyze these twelve versions for the Node-Kayles game on paths. For usual disjunctive compound, Node-Kayles has been solved for a long time under normal play, while it is still unsolved under mis\`ere play. We thus focus on the ten remaining versions, leaving only one of them unsolved.
