โฆ Synopsis
A move in the game of nim consists of taking any positive number of tokens from a single pile. Suppose we add the class of moves of taking a nonnegative number of tokens jointly from all the piles. We give a complete answer to the question which moves in the class can be adjoined without changing the winning strategy of nim. The results apply to other combinatorial games with unbounded Sprague Grundy function values. We formulate two weakened conditions of the notion of nim-sum 0 for proving the results.

It is known that when we add a viscoelastic damping to a frictional damping acting in the domain we might lose the property of exponential stability of the system. Moreover, a necessary condition for a system to be sub-exponentially stable is that the kernel itself must be sub-exponentially decaying
