We consider a two-player search game on a tree $T$. One vertex (unknown to the players) is randomly selected as the target. The players alternately guess vertices. If a guess $v$ is not the target, then both players are informed in which subtree of $T \smallsetminus v$ the target lies. The winner is the player who guesses the target. When both players play optimally, we show that each of them wins with probability approximately $1/2$. When one player plays optimally and the other plays randomly, we show that the player with the optimal strategy wins with probability between $9/16$ and $2/3$ (asymptotically). When both players play randomly, we show that each wins with probability between $13/30$ and $17/30$ (asymptotically).
翻译:我们考虑在树上玩一个双玩家搜索游戏$T$。 一个顶点(球员不知道)被随机选为目标。 玩家轮流猜测顶点。 如果猜想$v$不是目标, 那么两个玩家都会被告知哪个子树里有$T\ smallsetminus 和$目标。 赢家是猜目标的玩家。 当两个玩家玩得最佳时, 我们显示他们每个人都赢, 概率约为1/2美元。 当一个玩家玩得最佳, 而另一个玩家则随机选取最佳策略的玩家赢得概率在9/16美元和2/3美元之间(象征性的 ) 。 当两个玩家随机玩的时候, 我们显示每个赢的概率在13/30美元和17/30美元之间( 象征性的) 。
