The graph grabbing game on Km,n-trees

The graph grabbing game is a two-player game on weighted connected graphs where all weights are non-negative. Two players, Alice and Bob, alternately remove a non-cut vertex from the graph (i.e., the resulting graph is still connected) and get the weight assigned to the vertex, where the starting player is Alice. Each player's aim is to maximize his/her outcome when all vertices have been taken, and Alice wins the game if she gathered at least half of the total weight. Seacrest and Seacrest (2017) proved that Alice has a winning strategy for every weighted tree with even order, and conjectured that the same statement holds for every weighted connected bipartite graph with even order. In this paper, we prove that Alice wins the game on a type of a connected bipartite graph with even order called a Km,n-tree.
