Abstract

Let GG be a graph. Assume that to each vertex of a set of vertices SV(G)S\subseteq V(G) a robot is assigned. At each stage one robot can move to a neighbouring vertex. Then SS is a mobile general position set of GG if there exists a sequence of moves of the robots such that all the vertices of GG are visited whilst maintaining the general position property at all times. The mobile general position number of GG is the cardinality of a largest mobile general position set of GG. In this paper, bounds on the mobile general position number are given and exact values determined for certain common classes of graphs including block graphs, rooted products, unicyclic graphs, Cartesian products, joins of graphs, Kneser graphs K(n,2)K(n,2), and line graphs of complete graphs.
