Disjunctive games with the last player losing
P. M. Grundy, Cedric A. B. Smith · Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society · 1956
Various authors have discussed the ‘disjunctive compound’ of games with the last player winning (Grundy(2); Guy and Smith (3); Smith (4)). We attempt here to analyse the disjunctive compound with the last player losing, though unfortunately with less complete success. The problem was explored tentatively by the first named author, but the rigorous development is due to the second.
