Common eventual period under the selective sum
Common eventual period under the selective sum
Let and be two finite octal games. Write for the scoring-play Sprague–Grundy function, and let denote the disjunctive sum and the selective sum.
Selective-sum period conjecture. If eventually has period , then also eventually has period .
This is proposed as a stronger form of the preceding periodicity conjecture: changing from the disjunctive sum to the selective sum should not change the eventual period. The paper gives no proof or resolution.
