Suppose a Bayesian agent seeks to traverse a graph. Each time she crosses an edge, she pays a price. The first time she reaches a node, there is a payoff. She has an opponent who can reduce the payoffs. This paper uses adversarial risk…

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,…
