Abstract:A subset of the vertex set of a graph is geodetically convex if it contains every vertex on any shortest path between two elements of the subset. The convex hull of a set of vertices is the smallest convex set containing the set. We study two games in which two players take turns selecting vertices of a graph. The last player to move is the winner. The achievement game ends when the convex hull of the unselected vertices does not contain every vertex in the graph. In the avoidance game, the convex hull of the remaining vertices must contain every vertex. We determine the nim-value of these games for the family of grid graphs. We also provide some results for lattice graphs. Key tools in this analysis are delayed gamegraphs, option preserving maps, and case analysis diagrams.
