Title: Faster Game Solving by Fixpoint Acceleration
(Submitted on 21 Apr 2024)
Abstract: We propose a method for solving parity games with acyclic (DAG) sub-structures by computing nested fixpoints of a DAG attractor function that lives over the non-DAG parts of the game, thereby restricting the domain of the involved fixpoint operators. Intuitively, this corresponds to accelerating fixpoint computation by inlining cycle-free parts during the solution of parity games, leading to earlier convergence. We also present an economic later-appearence-record construction that takes Emerson-Lei games to parity games, and show that it preserves DAG sub-structures; it follows that the proposed method can be used also for the accelerated solution of Emerson-Lei games.
