Conjecture on periodicity of complementary Beatty-sequence games
Conjecture on periodicity of complementary Beatty-sequence games
Let and be complementary Beatty sequences, with and . Let be the invariant game whose move set is
with symmetric moves also allowed. A set of positions is periodic when every sufficiently large position in it lies on an infinite arithmetic ray as defined in the source.
Beatty-periodicity conjecture. The set is periodic if and only if the modulus of is rational. This proposes a complete rational-versus-irrational criterion for periodicity of the -positions of these invariant subtraction games; the source leaves it open.
