Show that PSPACE is closed under the operations union, complementation, and star.
The game of Nim is played with a collection of piles of sticks. In one move, aplayer may remove any nonzero number of sticks from a single pile. The players alternately take turns making moves. The player who removes the very last stick loses. Say that we have a game position in Nim with k piles containing s1,.....,sksticks. Call the position balanced if each column of bits contains an even number of 1s when each of the numbers s , is written in binary, and the binary numbers are written as rows of a matrix aligned at the low order bits. Prove the following two facts.
Let each siis a binary number and Player I has a winningstrategy in the Nim game starting at this position}. Use the preceding facts about balanced positions to show that is missing.
