Popis: A derangement of a graph G = ( V , E ) is an injective function f : V ź V such that for all v ź V , f ( v ) ź v and ( v , f ( v ) ) ź E . Not all graphs admit a derangement and previous results have characterized graphs with derangements using neighborhood conditions for subsets of V . We establish an alternative criterion for the existence of derangements on a graph. We analyze strict Nash equilibria of the biologically motivated Territorial Raider game, a multi-player competition for resources in a spatially structured population based on animal raiding and defending behavior. We find that a graph G admits a derangement if and only if there is a strict Nash equilibrium of the Territorial Raider game on G .
