Refined hardness of distance-optimal multi-agent path finding

T Geft, D Halperin - arXiv preprint arXiv:2203.07416, 2022 - arxiv.org
We study the computational complexity of multi-agent path finding (MAPF). Given a graph $
G $ and a set of agents, each having a start and target vertex, the goal is to find collision-free …
