Lights Out! is a game played on a $5 \times 5$ grid of lights, or more generally on a graph. Pressing lights on the grid allows the player to turn off neighboring lights. The goal of the game is to start with a given initial configuration…

Lights Out is a game which can be played on any graph $G$. Initially we have a configuration which assigns one of the two states on or off to each vertex. The aim of the game is to turn all vertices to off state for an initial configuration…

Lights Out is a game played on a graph $G$ where every vertex has a light bulb that is either on or off, and pressing a vertex $v$ toggles the state of every vertex in the closed neighborhood of $v$. The goal is to find a subset of vertices…

Neighborhood Lights Out is a game played on graphs. Begin with a graph and a vertex labeling of the graph from the set $\{0,1,2,\dots, \ell-1\}$ for $\ell \in \mathbb{N}$. The game is played by toggling vertices: when a vertex is toggled,…

Lights out is a game that can be played on any simple graph $G$. A configuration assigns one of the two states \emph{on} or \emph{off} to each vertex. For a given configuration, the aim of the game is to turn all vertices \emph{off} by…

We study the generalization of the game Lights Out in which the standard square grid board is replaced by a graph. We examine the probability that, when a graph is chosen uniformly at random from the set of graphs with $n$ vertices and $e$…

We consider the generalized game Lights Out played on a graph and investigate the following question: for a given positive integer $n$, what is the probability that a graph chosen uniformly at random from the set of graphs with $n$ vertices…

Consider a game played on a simple graph $G = (V,E)$ where each vertex consists of a clickable light. Clicking any vertex $v$ toggles the on/off state of $v$ and its neighbors. One wins the game by finding a sequence of clicks that turns…

The Lights Out Puzzle represents a cellular automaton based on a grid of squares where clicking a square changes its state and the states of surrounding squares. A "quiet pattern" is a way to click such that in the end, no change is…

Lights Out is a single-player electronic handheld game from the 1990s that features a 5 by 5 grid of light-up buttons. The game begins with some lights on and others off. The goal is to turn off all lights but pressing a button changes its…

Given an undirected graph $G = (V,E)$ with a set $V$ of vertices and a set $E$ of edges, the minimum sum coloring problem (MSCP) is to find a legal vertex coloring of $G$, using colors represented by natural numbers $1, 2, . . .$ such that…

In this paper we study a variant of the solitaire game Lights-Out, where the player's goal is to turn off a grid of lights. This variant is a two-player impartial game where the goal is to make the final valid move. This version is playable…

Maximum Clique Problem(MCP) is one of the 21 original NP--complete problems enumerated by Karp in 1972. In recent years a large number of exact methods to solve MCP have been appeared(Babel, Wood, Kumlander, Fahle, Li, Tomita and etc). Most…

Given simple undirected graph G = (V, E), the Maximum Clique Problem(MCP) is that of finding a maximum-cardinality subset Q of V such that any two vertices in Q are adjacent. We present a modified local search algorithm for this problem.…

We model the Lights Out game on general simple graphs in the framework of linear algebra over the field $\mathbb F_2$. Based upon a version of the Fredholm alternative, we introduce a separating invariant of the game, i.e., an initial state…

Finding complete subgraphs in a graph, that is, cliques, is a key problem and has many real-world applications, e.g., finding communities in social networks, clustering gene expression data, modeling ecological niches in food webs, and…

The maximum clique problem (MCP) is to find the largest complete subgraph in an undirected graph, that is, the subgraph in which there are edges between every two different vertices. It is an NP-Hard problem with wide applications,…

We give an elementary inductive proof of a classical result for the \emph{Lights Out problem} on graphs: from any configuration of vertices, one can reach the complementary configuration by a sequence of moves, where a move consists of…

In this paper, we relate the problem of finding a maximum clique to the intersection number of the input graph (i.e. the minimum number of cliques needed to edge cover the graph). In particular, we consider the maximum clique problem for…

Extremal problems concerning the number of complete subgraphs have a long story in extremal graph theory. Let $k_s(G)$ be the number of $s$-cliques in a graph $G$ and $m={{r_m}\choose s}+t_m$, where $0\le t_m\leq r_m$. Edr\H{o}s showed that…
