A graph environment must be explored by a collection of mobile robots. Some of the robots, a priori unknown, may turn out to be unreliable. The graph is weighted and each node is assigned a deadline. The exploration is successful if each…

We study the problem of multi-agent online graph exploration, in which a team of k agents has to explore a given graph, starting and ending on the same node. The graph is initially unknown. Whenever a node is visited by an agent, its…

We study the problem of rendezvous of two mobile agents starting at distinct locations in an unknown graph. The agents have distinct labels and walk in synchronous steps. However the graph is unlabelled and the agents have no means of…

In this paper, we study the treasure hunt problem in a graph by a mobile agent. The nodes in the graph $G=(V,E)$ are anonymous and the edges incident to a vertex $v\in V$ whose degree is $deg(v)$ are labeled arbitrarily as $0,1,\ldots,…

We study the multi-agent Smoothed Online Convex Optimization (SOCO) problem, where $N$ agents interact through a communication graph. In each round, each agent $i$ receives a strongly convex hitting cost function $f^i_t$ in an online…

A self-stabilizing algorithm for the minimal $\alpha$-dominating set is proposed in this paper. The $\alpha$-domination parameter has not used before in self-stabilization paradigm. Using an arbitrary graph with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges, the…

A team consisting of an unknown number of mobile agents, starting from different nodes of an unknown network, possibly at different times, have to meet at the same node. Agents are anonymous (identical), execute the same deterministic…

A group of mobile agents is given a task to explore an edge-weighted graph $G$, i.e., every vertex of $G$ has to be visited by at least one agent. There is no centralized unit to coordinate their actions, but they can freely communicate…

In graph theory, an independent set is a subset of nodes where there are no two adjacent nodes. The independent set is maximal if no node outside the independent set can join it. In network applications, maximal independent sets can be used…

Recently, B\"ockenhauer, Frei, Unger, and Wehner (SIROCCO 2023) introduced a novel variant of the graph exploration problem in which a single memoryless agent must visit all nodes of an unknown, undirected, and connected graph before…
