This paper tackles the well known graph searching problem, where a team of searchers aims at capturing an intruder in a network, modeled as a graph. This problem has been mainly studied for its relationship with the pathwidth of graphs. All variants of this problem assume that any node can be simultaneously occupied by several searchers. This...

In graph searching, a team of mobile agents aims at clearing the edges of a contaminated graph. To clear an edge, an agent has to slide along it, however, an edge can be recontaminated if there is a path without agents from a contaminated edge to a clear edge. To goal of graph searching is to clear the graph, i.e., all edges are clear...

We tackle a practical version of the well known {\it graph searching} problem, where a team of robots aims at capturing an intruder in a graph. The robots and the intruder move along the edges of the graph. The intruder is invisible, arbitrary fast, and omniscient. It is caught whenever it stands on a node occupied by a robot, and cannot escape...

This paper tackles the well known graph searching problem, where a team of searchers aims at capturing an intruder in a network, modeled as a graph. All variants of this problem assume that any node can be simultaneously occupied by several searchers. This assumption may be unrealistic, e.g., in the case of searchers modeling physical...

Dans le cadre du nettoyage de graphes contaminés ( graph searching), des agents mobiles se déplacent successivement le long des arêtes du graphe afin de les nettoyer. Le but général est le nettoyage en utilisant le moins d'agents possible. Nous plaçons notre étude dans le modèle de calcul distribué CORDA minimaliste. Ce modèle est muni...

This paper addresses the graph searching problem in a distributed setting.We describe a distributed protocol that enables searchers with logarithmic size memory to clear any network, in a fully decentralized manner. The search strategy for the network in which the searchers are launched is computed online by the searchers themselves without...
