Ordinal Sums, Clockwise Hackenbush, and Domino Shave
Alda Carvalho, Melissa A. Huggan, Richard J. Nowakowski +1
We present two rulesets, Domino Shave and Clockwise Hackenbush. The first is somehow natural and, as special cases, includes Stirling Shave and Hetyei's Bernoulli game. Clockwise H…
Complete Graphs and Polyominoes
Todd Mullen, Richard Nowakowski, Danielle Cox
In the chip-firing variant, Diffusion, chips flow from places of high concentration to places of low concentration (or equivalently, from the rich to the poor). We explore this mod…
Counting Path Configurations in Parallel Diffusion
Todd Mullen, Richard Nowakowski, Danielle Cox
Parallel Diffusion is a variant of Chip-Firing introduced in 2018 by Duffy et al. In Parallel Diffusion, chips move from places of high concentration to places of low concentration…
Atomic weights and the combinatorial game of Bipass
Urban Larsson, Richard J. Nowakowski
We define an all-small ruleset, Bipass, within the framework of normal-play combinatorial games. A game is played on finite strips of black and white stones. Stones of different co…
Cops and an Insightful Robber
Melissa A. Huggan, Richard J. Nowakowski
The 'Cheating Robot' version of Cops and Robbers is played on a finite, simple, connected graph. The players move in the same time period. However, before moving, the robot observe…
Cheating Robot Games: A model for insider information
Melissa A. Huggan, Richard J. Nowakowski
Combinatorial games are two-player games of pure strategy where the players, usually called Left and Right, move alternately. In this paper, we introduce Cheating Robot games. Thes…
Invertible Elements of the Misere Dicotic Universe
Michael Fisher, Richard Nowakowski, Carlos Pereira Dos Santos
We present a characterization of the invertible elements of the misere dicotic universe.
Diffusion: Quiescence and Perturbation
Danielle Cox, Todd Mullen, Richard Nowakowski
Originally proposed by Duffy et al., Diffusion is a variant of chip-firing in which chips from flow from places of high concentration to places of low concentration. In the variant…
