text: We consider multi-player graph games with partial-observation and parity objective.
While the decision problem for three-player games with a coalition of the first
and second players against the third player is undecidable in general, we present
a decidability result for partial-observation games where the first and third
player are in a coalition against the second player, thus where the second player
is adversarial but weaker due to partial-observation. We establish tight complexity
bounds in the case where player 1 is less informed than player 2, namely 2-EXPTIME-completeness
for parity objectives. The symmetric case of player 1 more informed than player
2 is much more complicated, and we show that already in the case where player
1 has perfect observation, memory of size non-elementary is necessary in general
for reachability objectives, and the problem is decidable for safety and reachability
objectives. From our results we derive new complexity results for partial-observation
stochastic games.
