- Abstract:
Mancala games have fascinated people worldwide for centuries, and Tchoukaillon is a particularly nice specimen of such a game. I will indicate how it might help to answer the following basic question about which nothing is currently known: Are there bipartite matching problems for which the Hopcroft--Karp algorithm actually has nonlinear running time?
