Cop and Robber

Product Information

Conversely, almost all dismantlable graphs have a universal vertex, in the sense that, among all n-vertex dismantlable graphs, the fraction of these graphs that have a universal vertex goes to one in the limit as n goes to infinity. Highly recommend this game to those who like to make weapons and there are a lot of game modes to play on.

A suitable distance away from the 'Cops' area, mark out a home base for the 'Robbers', where players will start out. The cops are trying to catch the robber by moving to the same position, while the robber is trying to remain uncaught.

The process succeeds, by reducing the graph to a single vertex, if and only if the graph is cop-win. By choosing the cop's starting position carefully, one can use the same idea to prove that, in an n-vertex graph, the cop can force a win in at most n − 4 moves. What tactics have you learned that might be useful for other activities, such as sports and other wide games?By the induction hypothesis, the cop has a winning strategy on the graph formed by removing v, and can follow the same strategy on the original graph by pretending that the robber is on the vertex that dominates v whenever the robber is actually on v. Each of the cop's steps reduces the size of the subtree that the robber is confined to, so the game eventually ends.
