Math | (1) Proportional to. (2) Asymptotically equal to. A theoretical measure of the execution of an algorithm, usually the time or memory needed, given the problem size n, which is usually the number of items. Informally, saying some equation f(n) g(n) means it grows at the same rate as g(n). More formally, it means limx -> f(x)/g(x) = 1. (references) |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Players alternate coloring any uncolored line in their own color. Players try to avoid making triangles of their color; the player who completes a triangle of their color loses immediately. (A triangle is three dots, each connected to the other two with lines of the same color.) The other player is the winner.
A simple theorem of Ramsey theory shows that no game of Sim can end in a tie; one player must lose by the end. Specifically, since R(3,3;2)=6, any coloring of the complete graph on 6 vertices must contain a monochromatic triangle, and therefore is not a tied position.
