Edge-balance index games

On a vertex-capturing game

“…In this paper, we have studied several aspects of the Edge-Balanced Index Game, which, although it was mentioned in [5], had received no dedicated attention prior to the current work. We gave several results related both to the general behaviour and main mechanisms behind the game, and to understanding the game in common graph classes.…”
