Cops & Robber on Periodic Temporal Graphs: Characterization and Improved Bounds.
SIROCCO(2023)
摘要
We study the classical Cops and Robber game when the cops and the robber move on an infinite periodic sequence of graphs on the same set V of n vertices: in round t , the topology of is where . As in the traditional case of static graphs , the main concern is on the characterization of the class of periodic temporal graphs where k cops can capture the robber. Concentrating on the case of a single cop, we provide a characterization of copwin periodic temporal graphs. Based on this characterization, we design an algorithm for determining if a periodic temporal graph is copwin with time complexity , where , improving the existing bound. Let us stress that, when (i.e., in the static case), the complexity becomes , improving the best existing bound.
