[HTML][HTML] Bounds on the cover time of parallel rotor walks

D Dereniowski, A Kosowski, D Pająk… - Journal of Computer and …, 2016 - Elsevier
The rotor-router mechanism was introduced as a deterministic alternative to the random
walk in undirected graphs. In this model, a set of k identical walkers is deployed in parallel …

[HTML][HTML] Does adding more agents make a difference? A case study of cover time for the rotor-router

A Kosowski, D Pająk - Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 2019 - Elsevier
We study the cover time of multiple walks in a graph following the rotor-router mechanism.
This mechanism can be seen as a derandomization of multiple random walks, in which …

Multiple random walks on graphs: Mixing few to cover many

N Rivera, T Sauerwald, J Sylvester - Combinatorics, Probability and …, 2023 - cambridge.org
Random walks on graphs are an essential primitive for many randomised algorithms and
stochastic processes. It is natural to ask how much can be gained by running multiple …

Limit behavior of the multi-agent rotor-router system

J Chalopin, S Das, P Gawrychowski… - International Symposium …, 2015 - Springer
The rotor-router model, also called the Propp machine, was introduced as a deterministic
alternative to the random walk. In this model, a group of identical tokens are initially placed …

Robustness of the rotor–router mechanism

E Bampas, L Gąsieniec, N Hanusse, D Ilcinkas… - Algorithmica, 2017 - Springer
The rotor–router model, also called the Propp machine, was first considered as a
deterministic alternative to the random walk. The edges adjacent to each node v (or …

Robustness of the rotor-router mechanism

E Bampas, L Gąsieniec, R Klasing, A Kosowski… - Principles of Distributed …, 2009 - Springer
We consider the model of exploration of an undirected graph G by a single agent which is
called the rotor-router mechanism or the Propp machine (among other names). Let π v …

Lock-in problem for parallel rotor-router walks

J Chalopin, S Das, P Gawrychowski… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2014 - arxiv.org
The rotor-router model, also called the Propp machine, was introduced as a deterministic
alternative to the random walk. In this model, a group of identical tokens are initially placed …

Unbounded discrepancy of deterministic random walks on grids

T Friedrich, M Katzmann, A Krohmer - International Symposium on …, 2015 - Springer
Random walks are frequently used in randomized algorithms. We study a derandomized
variant of a random walk on graphs, called rotor-router model. In this model, instead of …

Time and Space-Efficient Algorithms for Mobile Agents in an Anonymous Network

A Kosowski - 2013 - theses.hal.science
Computing with mobile agents is rapidly becoming a topic of mainstream research in the

Tree exploration in dual-memory model

D Bojko, K Gotfryd, DR Kowalski, D Pajak - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2021 - arxiv.org
We study the problem of online tree exploration by a deterministic mobile agent. Our main
objective is to establish what features of the model of the mobile agent and the environment …
