Scoring Play Combinatorial Games

Combinatorics 2012-02-22 v1

Abstract

This thesis will be discussing scoring play combinatorial games and looking at the general structure of these games under different operators. I will also be looking at the Sprague-Grundy values for scoring play impartial games, and demonstrating that there is an easily computable function that will solve a large range of octal games easily. I will also be demonstrating that my theory can readily be applied to the scoring play game of Go and can lead to a much greater understanding of the game.
