[PDF][PDF] Characterizing omega-regularity through finite-memory determinacy of games on infinite graphs

P Bouyer, M Randour, P Vandenhove - TheoretiCS, 2023 - theoretics.episciences.org
We consider zero-sum games on in nite graphs, with objectives speci ed as sets of in nite
words over some alphabet of colors. A well-studied class of objectives is the one of 𝜔 …

Characterizing positionality in games of infinite duration over infinite graphs

P Ohlmann - Proceedings of the 37th Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We study turn-based quantitative games of infinite duration opposing two antagonistic
players and played over graphs. This model is widely accepted as providing the adequate …

Half-Positional Objectives Recognized by Deterministic B\" uchi Automata

P Bouyer, A Casares, M Randour… - Logical Methods in …, 2024 - lmcs.episciences.org
In two-player games on graphs, the simplest possible strategies are those that can be
implemented without any memory. These are called positional strategies. In this paper, we …

On the minimisation of transition-based Rabin automata and the chromatic memory requirements of Muller conditions

A Casares - arXiv preprint arXiv:2105.12009, 2021 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we relate the problem of determining the chromatic memory requirements of
Muller conditions with the minimisation of transition-based Rabin automata. Our first …

How to Play Optimally for Regular Objectives?

P Bouyer, N Fijalkow, M Randour… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
This paper studies two-player zero-sum games played on graphs and makes contributions
toward the following question: given an objective, how much memory is required to play …

Universal graphs and good for games automata: New tools for infinite duration games

T Colcombet, N Fijalkow - … Conference, FOSSACS 2019, Held as Part of …, 2019 - Springer
In this paper, we give a self contained presentation of a recent breakthrough in the theory of
infinite duration games: the existence of a quasipolynomial time algorithm for solving parity …

Arena-independent finite-memory determinacy in stochastic games

P Bouyer, Y Oualhadj, M Randour… - Logical Methods in …, 2023 - lmcs.episciences.org
We study stochastic zero-sum games on graphs, which are prevalent tools to model decision-
making in presence of an antagonistic opponent in a random environment. In this setting, an …

Characterising memory in infinite games

A Casares, P Ohlmann - arXiv preprint arXiv:2209.12044, 2022 - arxiv.org
This paper is concerned with games of infinite duration played over potentially infinite
graphs. Recently, Ohlmann (LICS 2022) presented a characterisation of objectives admitting …

[PDF][PDF] Playing safe, ten years later

T Colcombet, N Fijalkow, F Horn - Logical Methods in …, 2024 - lmcs.episciences.org
We consider two-player games over graphs and give tight bounds on the memory size of
strategies ensuring safety objectives. More specifically, we show that the minimal number of …

Positional ω-regular languages

A Casares, P Ohlmann - Proceedings of the 39th Annual ACM/IEEE …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
In the context of two-player games over graphs, a language L is called positional if, in all
games using L as winning objective, the protagonist can play optimally using positional …
