On the odd cycle game and connected rules

We study the positional game where two players, Maker and Breaker, alternately select respectively 1 and b previously unclaimed edges of K n . Maker wins if she succeeds in claiming all edges of some odd cycle in K n and Breaker wins otherwise. Improving on a result of Bednarska and Pikhurko, √ we s...

Sumario:We study the positional game where two players, Maker and Breaker, alternately select respectively 1 and b previously unclaimed edges of K n . Maker wins if she succeeds in claiming all edges of some odd cycle in K n and Breaker wins otherwise. Improving on a result of Bednarska and Pikhurko, √ we show that)(Maker wins the odd cycle game if b ≤ (4 − 6) / 5 + o(1) n. We furthermore introduce ‘‘connected rules’’ and study the oddcycle game under them, both in the Maker–Breaker as well as in the Client–Waiter variant.
