Fatal attractors in parity games: Building blocks for partial solvers

M Huth, JHP Kuo, N Piterman - arXiv preprint arXiv:1405.0386, 2014 - arxiv.org
Attractors in parity games are a technical device for solving" alternating" reachability of given
node sets. A well known solver of parity games-Zielonka's algorithm-uses such attractor …

We introduce the novel notion of winning cores in parity games and develop a deterministic
polynomial-time under-approximation algorithm for solving parity games based on winning …

Parallel parity games: a multicore attractor for the zielonka recursive algorithm

R Arcucci, U Marotta, A Murano, L Sorrentino - Procedia Computer Science, 2017 - Elsevier
Parity games are abstract infinite-duration two-player games, widely studied in computer
science. Several solution algorithms have been proposed and also implemented in the …

Fatal attractors in parity games

M Huth, JHP Kuo, N Piterman - … on Foundations of Software Science and …, 2013 - Springer
We study a new form of attractor in parity games and use it to define solvers that run in
PTIME and are partial in that they do not solve all games completely. Technically, for color c …

A Matrix-Based Approach to Parity Games

S Aggarwal, AS De La Banda, L Yang… - … Conference on Tools …, 2023 - Springer
Parity games are two-player zero-sum games of infinite duration played on finite graphs for
which no solution in polynomial time is still known. Solving a parity game is an NP∩ co-NP …

Parity games: Zielonka's algorithm in quasi-polynomial time
