3 cooperative players each is assigned a hat of
color red or blue each can only see othersβ hat guess own color or pass players win if: at least one
correct and no wrong guess goal : to maximize winning
probability
Hat guessing puzzle
Hat guessing puzzle strategy1: only a pre-
specified player guesses randomly winning prob. =
strategy2: if other two have same color, guess the opposite, otherwise pass. winning prob. =
is optimal
pass
pass
cooperative players: β¦coordinate a strategy initially
assigned a blue or red hatβ¦uniformly and independently
guess a color or pass winning condition:
β¦at least correct guesses and no wrong guess
goal: to maximize winning prob.
General hat guessing game
case is well studied by [?], [?].. Observation 1: randomized strategy
does not help Observation 2: related to the minimum
-dominating set of
Previous Study
Definition: A -dominating set for a graph is a subset of , such that every vertex not in has at least neighbors in
win! losepass
pass pass
pass
winning point has at least losing points as neighbors
reduce -DS to strategy design(3)
all losing points β¦ is -dominating set of β¦winning prob. =
reduction can be done vice versa by counting argument:
β¦ winning prob.
Simple Facts
Theorem: β¦There exists a -dominating set of size ,
as long as is an integer, for large enough (.
β¦It follows that there exists a strategy of the hat guessing games with winning prob.
theorem is not true for small β¦example:
