Faster O(|V|^2|E|W)-Time Energy Algorithms for Optimal Strategy Synthesis in Mean Payoff Games
Carlo Comin ; Romeo Rizzi ;
Date 6 Sep 2016
AbstractThis study strengthens the links between Mean Payoff Games (MPG{s}) and Energy Games (EG{s}). Firstly, we offer a faster $O(|V|^2|E|W)$ pseudo-polynomial time and $Theta(|V|+|E|)$ space deterministic algorithm for solving the Value Problem and Optimal Strategy Synthesis in MPG{s}. This improves the best previously known estimates on the pseudo-polynomial time complexity to: [ O(|E|log |V|) + ThetaBig(sum_{vin V} exttt{deg}_{Gamma}(v)cdotell_{Gamma}(v)Big) = O(|V|^2|E|W), ] where $ell_{Gamma}(v)$ counts the number of times that a certain energy-lifting operator $delta(cdot, v)$ is applied to any $vin V$, along a certain sequence of Value-Iterations on reweighted EG{s}; and $ exttt{deg}_{Gamma}(v)$ is the degree of $v$. This improves significantly over a previously known pseudo-polynomial time estimate, i.e. $Thetaig(|V|^2|E|W + sum_{vin V} exttt{deg}_{Gamma}(v)cdotell_{Gamma}(v)ig)$ citep{CR15, CR16}, as the pseudo-polynomiality is now confined to depend solely on $ell_Gamma$. Secondly, we further explore on the relationship between Optimal Positional Strategies (OPSs) in MPG{s} and Small Energy-Progress Measures (SEPMs) in reweighted EG{s}. It is observed that the space of all OPSs, $ exttt{opt}_{Gamma}Sigma^M_0$, admits a unique complete decomposition in terms of extremal-SEPM{s} in reweighted EG{s}. This points out what we called the "Energy-Lattice $mathcal{X}^*_{Gamma}$ associated to $ exttt{opt}_{Gamma}Sigma^M_0$". Finally, it is offered a pseudo-polynomial total-time recursive procedure for enumerating (w/o repetitions) all the elements of $mathcal{X}^*_{Gamma}$, and for computing the corresponding partitioning of $ exttt{opt}_{Gamma}Sigma^M_0$.
