Mixed-Radix Nim
Abstract
We present take-away games whose Sprague-Grundy functions are given by the Nim sum of heap sizes in a mixed base β. Let β be the set of such games. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a minimum of β, and a recursive construction of the maximum of β.
