Turn-based games model asynchronous interaction between the players (the system and its environment) by interleaving their moves. Concurrent games model synchronous interaction: the players always move simultaneously. Infinitary winning criteria are considered: Büchi, co-Büchi, and more general parity conditions. A generalization of determinacy for parity games to concurrent parity games demands probabilistic (mixed) strategies: either player 1 has a mixed strategy to win with probability 1 (almost-sure winning), or player 2 has a mixed strategy to win with positive probability.\r\nThis work provides efficient reductions of concurrent probabilistic Büchi and co-Büchi games to turn-based games with Büchi condition and parity winning condition with three priorities, respectively. From a theoretical point of view, the latter reduction shows that one can trade the probabilistic nature of almost-sure winning for a more general parity (fairness) condition. The reductions improve understanding of concurrent games and provide an alternative simple proof of determinacy of concurrent Büchi and co-Büchi games. From a practical point of view, the reductions turn solvers of turn-based games into solvers of concurrent probabilistic games. Thus improvements in the well-studied algorithms for the former carry over immediately to the latter. In particular, a recent improvement in the complexity of solving turn-based parity games yields an improvement in time complexity of solving concurrent probabilistic co-Büchi games from cubic to quadratic.","lang":"eng"}],"date_created":"2018-12-11T12:08:46Z","day":"09","publisher":"Springer","article_processing_charge":"No","user_id":"ea97e931-d5af-11eb-85d4-e6957dddbf17","acknowledgement":"This research was supported in part by the Polish KBN grant 7-T11C-027-20, the AFOSR MURI grant F49620-00-1-0327, and the NSF Theory grant CCR-9988172.","type":"conference","doi":"10.1007/3-540-45793-3_20","page":"292 - 305","date_updated":"2023-06-05T10:02:54Z","publist_id":"308","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"oa_version":"None","conference":{"name":"CSL: Computer Science Logic","location":"Edinburgh, Scotland"},"author":[{"first_name":"Marcin","last_name":"Jurdziński","full_name":"Jurdziński, Marcin"},{"full_name":"Kupferman, Orna","last_name":"Kupferman","first_name":"Orna"},{"id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A","last_name":"Henzinger","first_name":"Thomas A","orcid":"0000−0002−2985−7724"}],"status":"public","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9783540442400"]},"year":"2002","month":"09","date_published":"2002-09-09T00:00:00Z","extern":"1","citation":{"apa":"Jurdziński, M., Kupferman, O., &#38; Henzinger, T.
