Game connectivity of graphs. (English) Zbl 1447.05138

Summary: In this paper, we introduce a new game invariant of graphs, called game connectivity, which is related to the connectivity of graphs. We investigate many fundamental and significant topics of the game connectivity of graphs, and propose many open problems and conjectures.
