This article studies the variance of two game tree algorithms, ␣- search and SCOUT, in the stochastic i.i.d. model. The problem of determining the variance of the classic ␣- search algorithm in the i.i.d. model was long open. This article resolves this problem partially. It is shown, by the martin
## Abstract Cooperative game theory solution concepts are used to allocate costs in a spanning tree network. Stable cost allocations are related to the core of a cooperative game and it is proved that every game generated from a minimum cost spanning tree with an immovable source has a core. A refi
Let K,,, be the complete bipartite graph of order 2n. Two players, maker and breaker, alternately take previously untaken edges of K,.,, one edge per move, with the breaker going first. The game ends when all edges of K,,, have been taken. Then the edges taken by the maker induce a graph G. The make
