Abstract
The region select game, introduced by Ayaka Shimizu, Akio Kawauchi and Kengo Kishimoto, is a game that is played on knot diagrams whose crossings are endowed with two colors. The game is based on the region crossing change moves that induce an unknotting operation on knot diagrams. We generalize the region select game to be played on a knot diagram endowed with $k$-colors at its vertices for $2 \leq k \leq \infty$.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Mathematical Society of Japan (JMSJ) was founded in 1948 and is published quarterly by the Mathematical Society of Japan (MSJ). It covers a wide range of pure mathematics. To maintain high standards, research articles in the journal are selected by the editorial board with the aid of distinguished international referees. Electronic access to the articles is offered through Project Euclid and J-STAGE. We provide free access to back issues three years after publication (available also at Online Index).
