We study the m-eternal domination problem from the perspective of the attacker. For many graph classes, the minimum required number of guards to defend eternally is known. By definition, if the defender has less than the required number of…
Dominating sets in graphs are often used to model some monitoring of the graph: guards are posted on the vertices of the dominating set, and they can thus react to attacks occurring on the unguarded vertices by moving there (yielding a new…
The present paper aims to extend the knight's tour problem for $k$-dimensional grids of the form $\{0,1\}^k$ to other fairy chess leapers. Accordingly, we constructively show the existence of closed tours in $2 \times 2 \times \cdots \times…
We extend the study of the 2-Solo Chess problem which was first introduced by Aravind, Misra, and Mittal in 2022. 2-Solo Chess is a single-player variant of chess in which the player must clear the board via captures such that only one…
We introduce and study a new search-type problem with ($n+1$)-robots on a disk. The searchers (robots) all start from the center of the disk, have unit speed, and can communicate wirelessly. The goal is for a distinguished robot (the queen)…
To date all self-tests for high dimensional systems are confined to many-qubit states. This is due to two restrictions in the literature: the standard techniques for proving self-testing results apply only to qubits, and there are few…
We study a natural generalization of the classical \textsc{Dominating Set} problem, called \textsc{Dominating Set with Quotas} (DSQ). In this problem, we are given a graph \( G \), an integer \( k \), and for each vertex \( v \in V(G) \), a…
Quantum phenomena have remained largely inaccessible to the general public. This can be attributed to the fact that we do not experience quantum mechanics on a tangible level in our daily lives. Games can provide an environment in which…
We introduce a generalized cake-cutting problem in which we seek to divide multiple cakes so that two players may get their most-preferred piece selections: a choice of one piece from each cake, allowing for the possibility of linked…
We show the chess billiard map, which was introduced in [HM] in order to study a generalization of the $n$-Queens problem in chess, is a circle homeomorphism. We give a survey of some of the known results on circle homeomorphisms, and apply…
This paper studies a problem of Erd\"{o}s concerning lattice cubes. Given an $N \times N \times N$ lattice cube, we want to find the maximum number of vertices one can select so that no eight corners of a rectangular box are chosen…
We provide a spectrum of results for the Universal Guard Problem, in which one is to obtain a small set of points ("guards") that are "universal" in their ability to guard any of a set of possible polygonal domains in the plane. We give…
The main problem considered in this paper is construction and theoretical study of efficient $n$-point coverings of a $d$-dimensional cube $[-1,1]^d$. Targeted values of $d$ are between 5 and 50; $n$ can be in hundreds or thousands and the…
The well-known three distance theorem states that there are at most three distinct gaps between consecutive elements in the set of the first n multiples of any real number. We generalise this theorem to higher dimensions under a suitable…
The billiard table is modeled as an $n$-dimensional box $[0,a_1]\times [0,a_2]\times \ldots \times [0,a_n] \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, with each side having real-valued lengths $a_i$ that are pairwise commensurable. A ball is launched from the…
We present a mini-review of present constraints of the large extra dimension scenario. We show many experiments and considerations that can constrain the fundamental scale of the large extra dimension. We observe that constraints come from…
We study competitive diffusion games on graphs introduced by Alon et al. [1] to model the spread of influence in social networks. Extending results of Roshanbin [8] for two players, we investigate the existence of pure Nash equilibria for…
Consider a situation with $n$ agents or players where some of the players form a coalition with a certain collective objective. Simple games are used to model systems that can decide whether coalitions are successful (winning) or not…
We present a game inspired by research on the possible number of billiard ball collisions in the whole Euclidean space. One player tries to place $n$ static "balls" with zero radius (i.e., points) in a way that will minimize the total…
The principal angles between binary collision subspaces in an $N$-billiard system in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space are computed. These angles are computed for equal masses and arbitrary masses. We then provide a bound on the number of…
