We study the problem of deterministically exploring an undirected and initially unknown graph with $n$ vertices either by a single agent equipped with a set of pebbles, or by a set of collaborating agents. The vertices of the graph are…
We consider the task of graph exploration. An $n$-node graph has unlabeled nodes, and all ports at any node of degree $d$ are arbitrarily numbered $0,\dots, d-1$. A mobile agent has to visit all nodes and stop. The exploration time is the…

A mobile agent, starting from a node $s$ of a simple undirected connected graph $G=(V,E)$, has to explore all nodes and edges of $G$ using the minimum number of edge traversals. To do so, the agent uses a deterministic algorithm that allows…
We study the Temporal Exploration problem, where an agent must visit all vertices of a temporal graph while traversing at most one available edge per time step. Unlike static graphs, which can be explored in linear time, temporal…
We study the exploration problem by mobile agents in two prominent models of dynamic graphs: $1$-Interval Connectivity and Connectivity Time. The $1$-Interval Connectivity model was introduced by Kuhn et al.~[STOC 2010], and the…
A temporal graph $G$ is a sequence $(G_t)_{t \in I}$ of graphs on the same vertex set of size $n$. The \emph{temporal exploration problem} asks for the length of the shortest sequence of vertices that starts at a given vertex, visits every…
In this paper, we present two self-stabilizing algorithms that enable a single (mobile) agent to explore graphs. Starting from any initial configuration, \ie regardless of the initial states of the agent and all nodes, as well as the…
\emph{Temporal graphs} are a generalisation of (static) graphs, defined by a sequence of \emph{snapshots}, each a static graph defined over a common set of vertices. \emph{Exploration} problems are one of the most fundamental and most…

A temporal graph is a graph in which the edge set can change from one time step to the next. The temporal graph exploration problem TEXP is the problem of computing a foremost exploration schedule for a temporal graph, i.e., a temporal walk…
We consider the problem of exploration of an anonymous, port-labeled, undirected graph with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges and diameter $D$, by a single mobile agent. Initially the agent does not know the graph topology nor any of the global…
We consider collaborative graph exploration with a set of $k$ agents. All agents start at a common vertex of an initially unknown graph and need to collectively visit all other vertices. We assume agents are deterministic, vertices are…
Moving an autonomous agent through an unknown environment is one of the crucial problems for robotics and network analysis. Therefore, it received a lot of attention in the last decades and was analyzed in many different settings. The graph…
Temporal graphs are graphs where the edge set can change in each time step, and the vertex set stays the same. Exploration of temporal graphs whose snapshot in each time step is a connected graph, called connected temporal graphs, has been…
We study the fundamental problem of graph exploration in dynamic graphs using mobile agents. We consider $1$-interval connected dynamic graphs, where the topology may change arbitrarily from round to round as long as the graph remains…
In dynamic graphs, edges may be added or deleted in each synchronous round. Various connectivity models exist based on constraints on these changes. One well-known model is the $T$-Interval Connectivity model, where the graph remains…
In the Travelling Salesman Problem, every vertex of an edge-weighted graph has to be visited by an agent who traverses the edges of the graph. In this problem, it is usually assumed that the costs of each edge are given in advance, making…
A mobile agent navigating along edges of a simple connected graph, either finite or countably infinite, has to find an inert target (treasure) hidden in one of the nodes. This task is known as treasure hunt. The agent has no a priori…
