Autotopism stabilized colouring games on rook's graphs
Abstract
Based on the fact that every partial colouring of the rook’s graph Kr✷Ks is uniquely related to an r × s partial Latin rectangle, this work deals with the Θ-stabilized colouring game on the graph Kr✷Ks. This is a variant of the classical colouring game on finite graphs [1,2,6,7] so that each move must respect a given autotopism Θ of the resulting partial Latin rectangle. The complexity of this variant is examined by means of its Θ-stabilized game chromatic number, which depends in turn on the cycle structure of the autotopism under consideration. Based on the known classification of such cycle structures [3,4,5,8], we determine in a constructive way the game chromatic number associated to those rook’s graphs Kr✷Ks, for which r ≤ s ≤ 8.

Colouring games. Steven J. Brams & Martin Gardner, 1981. Hans L. Boblaender, 1991. Based on the graph colouring problem, the game is played on a finite graph by two players, Alice (A) and Bob (B), with Alice playing first. Ra´ul M. Falc´on and S. Dominique Andres Autotopism stabilized colouring games on rook’s graphs
Colouring games. Steven J. Brams & Martin Gardner, 1981. Hans L. Boblaender, 1991. They alternately colour the vertices of the graph so that none two adjacent vertices are coloured with the same colour. Ra´ul M. Falc´on and S. Dominique Andres Autotopism stabilized colouring games on rook’s graphs

Compatibility. A triple of positive integers (i,j,k) is lcm-compatible if lcm(i,j,k) = lcm(i,j) = lcm(i,k) = lcm(j,k). Proposition Θ=(α, β, γ)∈Ir,s,n.P∈ PLRΘ. (i,j,k)∈Ent(P)⇒(lα,i,lβ,j,lγ,k)is lcm-compatible. Θ = ((12),(1234),(1234)) ∈S3×S4×S4. Ra´ul M. Falc´on and S. Dominique Andres Autotopism stabilized colouring games on rook’s graphs
Compatibility. Θ=(α, β, γ)∈Ir,s,n. P∈ PLRr,s,nis Θ-compatible if, for each (i,j,k)∈Ent(P), C.1) (lα,i,lβ,j,lγ,k) is lcm-compatible. C.2) For each m≥0, Either the cell (αm(i), βm(j)) is empty or (αm(i), βm(j), γm(k)) ∈Ent(P). Θ = ((12),(1234),(1234)) ∈S3×S4×S4. Ra´ul M. Falc´on and S. Dominique Andres Autotopism stabilized colouring games on rook’s graphs
Compatibility. Θ=(α, β, γ)∈Ir,s,n. P∈ PLRr,s,nis Θ-compatible if, for each (i,j,k)∈Ent(P), C.1) (lα,i,lβ,j,lγ,k) is lcm-compatible. C.2) For each m≥0, Either the cell (αm(i), βm(j)) is empty or (αm(i), βm(j), γm(k)) ∈Ent(P). Theorem PLRΘ6=∅if and only if there exists a Θ-compatible P∈ PLRr,s,n for which every marked orbit is complete. Ra´ul M. Falc´on and S.

Feasibility. Θ=(α, β, γ)∈Ir,s,n. Feasible:λα iλβ jλγ k>0⇒(i,j,k) lcm-compatible. ((12)(34)(56),(123)(456),(123456)). Extension of size n0≥n: Any (α, β, γ0)∈Ir,s,n0, s. t. γ0(s) = γ(s),∀s≤n. Natural extension:γ0(s) = s,∀n<s. Extendable isotopism: All its natural extensions are feasible. Proposition Extendability ⇒Feasibility. If a natural extension of Θis feasible, then Θis feasible. Every feasible principal isotopism is extendable. Ra´ul M. Falc´on and S. Dominique Andres Autotopism stabilized colouring games on rook’s graphs

III. The autotopism stabilized colouring game. Ra´ul M. Falc´on and S. Dominique Andres Autotopism stabilized colouring games on rook’s graphs
The game. Initial board: Empty r×sarray: P= (pij ). Key: Θ = (α, β, γ)∈Ir,s,n. Basic rules: Alternately, the players colour an empty cell (i,j)∈[r]×[s] in the board with a colour c∈[n] by respecting the following rules: Rule 1) The Latin array condition must always hold. Rule 2) The Θ-compatibility condition must always hold. Rule 3) For each m<lcm(lα,i,lβ,j) and each coloured collinear cell (i0,j0) of (αm(i), βm(j)), it must be pi0j06=γm(c). Ra´ul M. Falc´on and S.
