Friendly Frogs, Stable Marriage, and the Magic of Invariance

Abstract [en]

We introduce a two-player game involving two tokens located at points of a fixed set. The players take turns moving a token to an unoccupied point in such a way that the distance between the two tokens is decreased. Optimal strategies for this game and its variants are intimately tied to Gale-Shapley stable marriage. We focus particularly on the case of random infinite sets, where we use invariance, ergodicity, mass transport, and deletion-tolerance to determine game outcomes.
