Get started for freeThe cat-and-mouse game is played by two players, "Cat" and "Mouse," on an arbitrary undirected graph. At a given point, each player occupies a node of the graph. The players take turns moving to a node adjacent to the one that they currently occupy. A special node of the graph is called "Hole." Cat wins if the two players ever occupy the same node. Mouse wins if it reaches the Hole before the preceding happens. The game is a draw if a situation repeats (i.e., the two players simultaneously occupy positions that they simultaneously occupied previously, and it is the same player's turn to move).
Are respectively a graph and positions of the Cat, Mouse, and Hole, such that Cat has a winning strategy if Cat moves first}.
Show that is in . (Hint: The solution is not complicated and doesn't depend on subtle details in the way the game is defined. Consider the entire game tree. It is exponentially big, but you can search it in polynomial time.)
Define CYCLE= {(G)| G is a directed graph that contains a directed cycle}. Show that CYCLEis NL-complete.
Show that TQBF restricted to formulas where the part following the quantifiers is in conjunctive normal form is still PSPACE-complete.
Define UPATHto be the counterpart of PATHfor undirected graphs. Show that . (Note: In fact, we can prove, and therefore, but the algorithm [62] is too difficult to present here.)
Show that is NL-complete.
