The Cheating Robot and Insider Information

Throughout this talk, we explore a deterministic model as an alternative approach to studying simultaneous play combinatorial games. We call this the Cheating Robot model. This model forces both players to move at the same time, but one player has extra information about where their opponent is going to move and can react accordingly. We discuss some general theory and explore a case study to get some insight into this model. This is joint work with Richard J. Nowakowski.

The Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar series will take place every Wednesday from 3:30-4:30 ADT online via zoom. The talks, provided by researchers, postdocs and graduate students, will be on a variety of current topics in graph theory. If you would like to give a talk or attend, please email one of the organizers (Jason Brown and Danielle Cox).
