....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 ....

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 ....
