Canonical-form conjecture for reduced switches
Canonical-form conjecture for reduced switches
Let denote the Fibonacci numbers, let be the switch component appearing in the reduced switch construction, and let denote the combinatorial game value of a heap of size . The reduced switch of size has the form specified below.
Canonical-form conjecture. For all ,
The conjecture asserts that the relevant Left option can be replaced by and that the remaining Left options are dominated or reversible. It is motivated by computations and by the move from a heap of size to one of size , but no resolution is supplied here.
