Memory lower bounds for randomized collaborative search and implications for biology

O Feinerman, A Korman - … , DISC 2012, Salvador, Brazil, October 16-18 …, 2012 - Springer
Initial knowledge regarding group size can be crucial for collective performance. We study
this relation in the context of the Ants Nearby Treasure Search (ANTS) problem [18], which …

A distributed algorithm to maintain and repair the trail networks of arboreal ants

A Chandrasekhar, DM Gordon, S Navlakha - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
We study how the arboreal turtle ant (Cephalotes goniodontus) solves a fundamental
computing problem: maintaining a trail network and finding alternative paths to route around …

A framework for searching in graphs in the presence of errors

D Dereniowski, S Tiegel, P Uznański… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2018 - arxiv.org
We consider the problem of searching for an unknown target vertex $ t $ in a (possibly edge-
weighted) graph. Each\emph {vertex-query} points to a vertex $ v $ and the response either …

Searching Trees with Permanently Noisy Advice: Walking and Query Algorithms

L Boczkowski, U Feige, A Korman, Y Rodeh - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2016 - arxiv.org
We consider a search problem on trees in which the goal is to find an adversarially placed
treasure, while relying on local, partial information. Specifically, each node in the tree holds …

The Query Complexity of Searching Trees with Permanently Noisy Advice

L Boczkowski, U Feige, A Korman… - ACM Transactions on …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
We consider a search problem on trees aiming to find a treasure that an adversary places at
one of the nodes. The algorithm can query nodes and extract directional information from …

Locating a target with an agent guided by unreliable local advice: how to beat the random walk when you have a clock?

N Hanusse, D Ilcinkas, A Kosowski… - Proceedings of the 29th …, 2010 - dl.acm.org
We study the problem of finding a destination node t by a mobile agent in an unreliable
network having the structure of an unweighted graph, in a model first proposed by Hanusse …

Navigating in trees with permanently noisy advice

L Boczkowski, U Feige, A Korman… - ACM Transactions on …, 2021 - dl.acm.org
We consider a search problem on trees in which an agent starts at the root of a tree and
aims to locate an adversarially placed treasure, by moving along the edges, while relying on …

Time dependent biased random walks

J Haslegrave, T Sauerwald, J Sylvester - ACM Transactions on …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We study the biased random walk where at each step of a random walk a “controller” can,
with a certain small probability, move the walk to an arbitrary neighbour. This model was …

[PDF][PDF] Searching on trees with noisy memory

L Boczkowski, A Korman, Y Rodeh - CoRR, abs/1611.01403, 2016 - researchgate.net
We consider a search problem on trees using unreliable guiding instructions. Specifically,
an agent starts a search at the root of a tree aiming to find a treasure hidden at one of the …
