For a topological space $X$ and a point $x \in X$, consider the following game -- related to the property of $X$ being countably tight at $x$. In each inning $n\in\omega$, the first player chooses a set $A_n$ that clusters at $x$, and then…

For a Tychonoff space $X$, we denote by $(C(X), \tau_k, \tau_p)$ the bitopological space of all real-valued continuous functions on $X$ where $\tau_k$ is the compact-open topology and $\tau_p$ is the topology of pointwise convergence. In…

The two main results of this work are the following: if a space $X$ is such that player II has a winning strategy in the game $\gone(\Omega_x, \Omega_x)$ for every $x \in X$, then $X$ is productively countably tight. On the other hand, if a…

Definable zero-sum stochastic games involve a finite number of states and action sets, reward and transition functions that are definable in an o-minimal structure. Prominent examples of such games are finite, semi-algebraic or globally…

The notion of "pseudocompactness" was introduced by Hewitt. The concept of relatively countably compact subspaces were explored by Marjanovic to show that a $\Psi$-space is pseudocompact. A topological space is said to be DRC (DRS) iff it…

An open question of Gruenhage asks if all strategically selectively separable spaces are Markov selectively separable, a game-theoretic statement known to hold for countable spaces. As a corollary of a result by Berner and Juh$\acute{a}$sz,…

In this note we study the open-point topological games in order to analyze the least upper bound for density of dense subsets of a topological space. This way we may also analyze the behavior of such cardinal invariants in taking products…

Two selection games from the literature, $G_c(\mathcal O,\mathcal O)$ and $G_1(\mathcal O_{zd},\mathcal O)$, are known to characterize countable dimension among certain spaces. This paper studies their perfect- and limited-information…

The aim of this note is to investigate the open-open game of uncountable length. We introduce a cardinal number $\mu(X)$, which says how long the Player I has to play to ensure a victory. It is proved that $\su(X)\leq\mu(X)\leq\su(X)^+$. We…

We establish relationships between various topological selection games involving the space of minimal usco maps with various topologies, including the topology of pointwise convergence and the topology of uniform convergence on compact…

Let S be a topological property of sequences (such as, for example, "to contain a convergent subsequence" or "to have an accumulation point"). We introduce the following open-point game OP(X,S) on a topological space X. In the n'th move,…

Combinatorial Game Theory has also been called `additive game theory', whenever the analysis involves sums of independent game components. Such {\em disjunctive sums} invoke comparison between games, which allows abstract values to be…

Turn-based discounted-sum games are two-player zero-sum games played on finite directed graphs. The vertices of the graph are partitioned between player 1 and player 2. Plays are infinite walks on the graph where the next vertex is decided…

The space of finite games can be decomposed into three orthogonal subspaces [5], which are the subspaces of pure potential games, nonstrategic games and pure harmonic games. The orthogonal projections onto these subspaces are represented as…

The countable uniform power (or uniform box product) of a uniform space $X$ is a special topology on ${}^{\omega}X$ that lies between the Tychonoff topology and the box topology. We solve an open problem posed by P. Nyikos showing that if…

In this paper, we study nonzero-sum separable games, which are continuous games whose payoffs take a sum-of-products form. Included in this subclass are all finite games and polynomial games. We investigate the structure of equilibria in…

We answer an open complexity question by Hofman, Lasota, Mayr, Totzke (LMCS 2016) for simulation preorder on the class of succinct one-counter nets (i.e., one-counter automata with no zero tests where counter increments and decrements are…

We present a general way of defining various reduction games on \omega\ which "represent" corresponding topologically defined classes of functions. In particular, we will show how to construct games for piecewise defined functions, for…

Let X be a Tychonoff space and MC(X) be the space of convex minimal usco maps with values in R, the space of real numbers. Such set-valued maps are important in the study of subdifferentials of convex functions. Using the strong Choquet…

Schmidt games and the Cantor winning property give alternative notions of largeness, similar to the more standard notions of measure and category. Being intuitive, flexible, and applicable to recent research made them an active object of…
