The i-Mark conjecture on positions with Sprague–Grundy value two
The i-Mark conjecture on positions with Sprague–Grundy value two
Consider the impartial game in normal play, with relatively prime positive integers and . Let denote the Sprague–Grundy value of the position , and define the sequences
i-Mark conjecture. A necessary condition for is that one of the following holds: , is a term of , or is a term of one of the sequences for . The remaining Sprague–Grundy values iterate in -tuples of zeros and ones.
The conjecture is supported by the authors' experiments and describes the expected structure of the Sprague–Grundy sequence for general relatively prime subtraction and division parameters. No proof or resolution is supplied in the stated context.
