The model consists of a graph where every vertex has one of two types, namely, dead or alive. A configuration is a mapping of the vertices to the types. An update rule describes how the type of a vertex is updated given the types of its neighbors. In every round, all vertices are updated synchronously, which leads to a configuration update. While in general, Game of Life allows a broad range of update rules, we focus on two simple families of update rules, namely, underpopulation and overpopulation, that model several interesting dynamics studied in the literature. In both settings, a dead vertex requires at least a desired number of live neighbors to become alive. For underpopulation (resp., overpopulation), a live vertex requires at least (resp. at most) a desired number of live neighbors to remain alive. We study the basic computation problems, e.g., configuration reachability, for these two families of rules. For underpopulation rules, we show that these problems can be solved in polynomial time, whereas for overpopulation rules they are PSPACE-complete.","lang":"eng"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","doi":"10.4230/LIPIcs.MFCS.2020.22","title":"Simplified game of life: Algorithms and complexity","day":"18","citation":{"mla":"Chatterjee, Krishnendu, et al. “Simplified Game of Life: Algorithms and Complexity.” 45th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science, vol. 170, 22:1-22:13, Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik, 2020, doi:10.4230/LIPIcs.MFCS.2020.22.","short":"K.
