Games on Tilings

-- Rémi Pallen (LISN, Galac)

Time: 14:00 -- Location: LRI, 445

summary: Given a finite set A of colors and a finite set of target patterns F, to know if one can tile the infinite grid avoiding patterns in F is the domino problem. This problem can be seen as a one-player game, where the goal for the player is to tile the grid. In this talk, we consider a two-player version of this game, where each player chooses in turn a color for a cell; the maker A wants to create a target pattern and the breaker B wants to avoid them.
In this internship, I am studying which player has a winning strategy, depending on colors, target patterns and the turn order.
