摘要
We study the computational complexity of the Buttons & Scissors game and obtain sharp thresholds with respect to several parameters. Specifically we show that the game is NP-complete for C = 2 colors but polytime solvable for C = 1. Similarly the game is NP-complete if every color is used by at most F = 4 buttons but polytime solvable for F <= 3. We also consider restrictions on the board size, cut directions, and cut sizes. Finally, we introduce several natural two-player versions of the game and show that they are PSPACE-complete.
