An Optimal Competitive Strategy for Walking in Streets - Icking, Klein, Langetepe (1999)   (1 citation)  (Correct)

....bound was lowered to 4.44 in Icking [11] then to 2.61 in Kleinberg [15] to 2.05 in Lopez Ortiz and Schuierer [17] to 1.73 in Lopez Ortiz and Schuierer [19] to 1.57 in Semrau [23] and to 1. 51 in Icking et al. 12] Further attempts were made by Dasgupta et al. 7] and by Kranakis and Spatharis [16]. But it has remained open, until now, if # 2 is really the largest lower bound, and how to design an optimal strategy for searching the target in a street; compare the open problems mentioned in Mitchell [20] In this paper both questions are finally answered. We introduce a new strategy and ....

The Exact Cost of Exploring Streets with CAB - Lopez-Ortiz, Schuierer   (Correct)

.... 5:71) The upper bound on the competitive factor was later improved by Icking to 1 =2 p 1 2 =4 ( 4:44) 11] A number of other strategies have been presented since by Kleinberg [16] L opez Ortiz and Schuierer [19, 20, 21] Semrau [26] Dasgupta et al. 6] and Kranakis and Spatharis [17]. Unfortunately, the analyses of the last two results turned out to be erroneous. The currently best known competitive ratio is 1:51 [12] Due to the simple lower bound example shown in Figure 1 there is no strategy with a competitive ratio less than p 2 [15] If a strategy moves to the left or ....

Unfortunately, the analyses of the last two results turned out to be erroneous. The currently best known competitive ratio is 1:51 [7] It is well known that there is no strategy with a competitive ratio less than p 2 [9] In this paper we present the first exact analysis of the strategy ....
