A Study on the Problems of Dispersion and Exploration on Graph Topology

Authors Info & Claims
Published:24 January 2022Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper we discuss two important problems: Dispersion and Exploration. We have provided two optimal algorithms for each of them. For Dispersion we have provided an algorithm which is optimal in terms of memory complexity and for Exploration we have given an algorithm which is optimal in terms of number of robots in a dynamic ring. We give a brief idea about our algorithms and novelty of our techniques.
