Tight bounds on distributed exploration of temporal graphs

T Gotoh, P Flocchini, T Masuzawa… - … on Principles of …, 2020 - drops.dagstuhl.de
Temporal graphs (or evolving graphs) are time-varying graphs where time is assumed to be
discrete. In this paper, we consider for the first time the problem of exploring temporal graphs …

[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 …

Exploration of dynamic networks: tight bounds on the number of agents

T Gotoh, P Flocchini, T Masuzawa, N Santoro - Journal of Computer and …, 2021 - Elsevier
We consider, for the first time, the exploration of dynamic graphs of arbitrary unknown
topology. We study the number of agents necessary and sufficient to explore such graphs …

Improved analysis of deterministic load-balancing schemes

P Berenbrink, R Klasing, A Kosowski… - ACM Transactions on …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
We consider the problem of deterministic load balancing of tokens in the discrete model. A
set of n processors is connected into ad-regular undirected network. In every timestep, each …

On the termination of flooding

W Hussak, A Trehan - 37th International Symposium on …, 2020 - drops.dagstuhl.de
Flooding is among the simplest and most fundamental of all graph/network algorithms.
Consider a (distributed network in the form of a) finite undirected graph G with a …

Patrolling trees with mobile robots

J Czyzowicz, A Kosowski, E Kranakis… - Foundations and Practice …, 2017 - Springer
Consider k identical robots traversing the edges of a geometric tree. The robots have to
patrol the tree by perpetually moving along edges, but without exceeding their maximum unit …

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 …

The multi-agent rotor-router on the ring: a deterministic alternative to parallel random walks

R Klasing, A Kosowski, D Pająk… - Proceedings of the 2013 …, 2013 - dl.acm.org
The rotor-router mechanism was introduced as a deterministic alternative to the random
walk in undirected graphs. In this model, an agent is initially placed at one of the nodes of …

Deterministic random walks for rapidly mixing chains

T Shiraga, Y Yamauchi, S Kijima… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2013 - arxiv.org
The rotor-router model is a deterministic process analogous to a simple random walk on a
graph. This paper is concerned with a generalized model, functional-router model, which …

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 …
