We study graphs and two-player games in which rewards are assigned to states, and the goal of the players is to satisfy or dissatisfy certain property of the generated outcome, given as a mean payoff property. Since the notion of…
We continue our studies of burn-off chip-firing games from [Discrete Math. Theor. Comput. Sci. 15 (2013), no. 1, 121-132; MR3040546] and [Australas. J. Combin. 68 (2017), no. 3, 330-345; MR3656659]. The latter article introduced randomness…
Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$, and $f$ be a 0-1 labeling of $E(G)$ so that the absolute difference in the number of edges labeled 1 and 0 is no more than one. Call such a labeling $f$ \emph{edge-friendly}. We…
Capacitated network bargaining games are popular combinatorial games that involve the structure of matchings in graphs. We show that it is always possible to stabilize unit-weight instances of this problem (that is, ensure that they admit a…
We study the value of unique games as a graph-theoretic parameter. This is obtained by labeling edges with permutations. We describe the classical value of a game as well as give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an…
We study the graphs formed from instances of the stable matching problem by connecting pairs of elements with an edge when there exists a stable matching in which they are matched. Our results include the NP-completeness of recognizing…
This paper addresses the longstanding problem of determining the structure of the $\leq_{\mathrm{LT}}$-order in the Effective Topos, known to effectively embed the Turing degrees. In a surprising discovery, we show that the…
The aim of this work is to establish a linear instability criterium of stationary solutions for the Korteweg-de Vries model on a star graph with a structure represented by a finite collections of semi-infinite edges. By considering a…
The applications of graph coloring are diverse and many so lots of new types of coloring are being proposed and explored. Here we define a safe k-coloring, motivated by the application of coloring to secret sharing. Secret sharing is a way…
We study stable finiteness of extensions of 2-graph C*-algebras determined by saturated hereditary sets of vertices. We use two iterations of the Pimsner-Voiculescu sequence to calculate the map in K-theory induced by the inclusion of a…
We initiate the study of quantum property testing in sparse directed graphs, and more particularly in the unidirectional model, where the algorithm is allowed to query only the outgoing edges of a vertex. In the classical unidirectional…
Every partial colouring of a Hamming graph is uniquely related to a partial Latin hyper-rectangle. In this paper we introduce the $\Theta$-stabilized $(a,b)$-colouring game for Hamming graphs, a variant of the $(a,b)$-colouring game so that…
This paper investigates the \textbf{graphical $r$-Stirling numbers of the first kind}, denoted by $\str{G}{k}$, which enumerate partitions of a vertex set $V(G)$ into $k$ disjoint cycles such that $r$ specified vertices occupy distinct…
We introduce and study a new model that we call the {\em matching model}. Items arrive one by one in a buffer and depart from it as soon as possible but by pairs. The items of a departing pair are said to be {\em matched}. There is a finite…
Numerical simulations of coupled map lattices (CMLs) and other complex model systems show an enormous phenomenological variety that is difficult to classify and understand. It is therefore desirable to establish analytical tools for…
A $k$-dispersed labelling of a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is a labelling of the vertices of $G$ by the integers $1, \dots , n$ such that $d(i,i+1) \geq k$ for $1 \leq i \leq n-1$. $DL(G)$ denotes the maximum value of $k$ such that $G$ has a…
Graph Pebbling is a well-studied single-player game on graphs. We introduce the game of Blocking Pebbles which adapts Graph Pebbling into a two-player strategy game in order to examine it within the context of Combinatorial Game Theory.…
This paper deals with stability of discrete-time switched linear systems whose all subsystems are unstable. We present sufficient conditions on the subsystems matrices such that a switched system is globally exponentially stable under a set…
In this paper we explore enumeration problems related to the number of reachable configurations in a chip-firing game on a finite connected graph G. We define an auxiliary notion of debt-reachability and prove that the number of…
{\emph A star edge-coloring} of a graph is a proper edge-coloring without bichromatic paths and cycles of length four. In this paper, we consider the list version of this coloring and prove that the list star chromatic index of every…
