We consider some well-known families of two-player zero-sum perfect-information stochastic games played on finite directed graphs. Generalizing and unifying results of Liggett and...
For a graph G and a collection of vertex pairs {(s1, t1), . . . , (sk, tk)}, the k disjoint paths problem is to find k vertex-disjoint paths P1, . . . , Pk, where Pi is a path fr...
