Abstract

The game "Generalized Kayles (or Independence Achievement)" is played by two players A and B on an arbitrary graph G. The players alternate removing a vertex and its neighbors from G, the winner being the last player with a nonempty set from which to choose. In this thesis, we present winning strategies for some paths.
