Weak Muller Conditions Make Delay Games Hard

Sarah Winter, Martín Zimmermann · Lecture notes series, Institute For Mathematical Sciences · 2023

We show that solving delay games with winning conditions given by deterministic and non-deterministic weak Muller automata is 2EXPTIME-complete respectively 3EXPTIME-complete. Furthermore, doubly- and triply-exponential lookahead is necessary and sufficient to win such games. These results are the first that show that the succinctness of the automata types used to specify the winning conditions has an influence on the complexity of these problems.
