Sharing Nim and Enumeration of Nim Characteristics (2008.01075v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce and examine a variant of the game of Nim (Sharing Nim), where players can either remove or transfer objects from 1 pile to another. The only restriction is that players may not transfer objects from a pile of greater size to a pile of smaller size. We also find new methods of enumerating characteristics of Nim and Sharing Nim, including the number of zero nim positions.
