Let $G$ be a graph. Assume that to each vertex of a set of vertices $S\subseteq V(G)$ a robot is assigned. At each stage one robot can move to a neighbouring vertex. Then $S$ is a mobile general position set of $G$ if there exists a…

A subset $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is in \emph{general position} if no shortest path in $G$ contains three vertices of $S$. The \emph{general position problem} consists of finding the number of vertices in a largest general position…
