Edge deletion game on a graph

159 Views Asked by At

I thought up the following two player game on a graph.

A graph $G$ is given as an input. Each player deletes one edge in turn. The one who makes an isolated vertex first wins.

I would like to know how to decide the winner and his strategy.

It is easy to see that the vertices with degree $1$ or $2$ are not needed. But I don't know further about this game even for simple graphs.

I would appreciate it if you would give me some observations or comments or related works or whatever.
