Lights Out On A Random Graph


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We consider the generalized game Lights Out played on a graph and investigate the following question: for a given positive integer $n$, what is the probability that a graph chosen uniformly at random from the set of graphs with $n$ vertices yields a universally solvable game of Lights Out? When $n leq 11$, we compute this probability exactly by determining if the game is universally solvable for each graph with $n$ vertices. We approximate this probability for each positive integer $n$ with $n leq 87$ by applying a Monte Carlo method using 1,000,000 trials. We also perform the analogous computations for connected graphs.
