Comparing cooperative geometric puzzle solving in ants versus humans

T Dreyer, A Haluts, A Korman, N Gov, E Fonio… - Proceedings of the …, 2025 - pnas.org
Biological ensembles use collective intelligence to tackle challenges together, but
suboptimal coordination can undermine the effectiveness of group cognition. Testing …

A framework for searching in graphs in the presence of errors

D Dereniowski, S Tiegel, P Uznański… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2018 - arxiv.org
We consider the problem of searching for an unknown target vertex $ t $ in a (possibly edge-
weighted) graph. Each\emph {vertex-query} points to a vertex $ v $ and the response either …

Searching Trees with Permanently Noisy Advice: Walking and Query Algorithms

L Boczkowski, U Feige, A Korman, Y Rodeh - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2016 - arxiv.org
We consider a search problem on trees in which the goal is to find an adversarially placed
treasure, while relying on local, partial information. Specifically, each node in the tree holds …

The Query Complexity of Searching Trees with Permanently Noisy Advice

L Boczkowski, U Feige, A Korman… - ACM Transactions on …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
We consider a search problem on trees aiming to find a treasure that an adversary places at
one of the nodes. The algorithm can query nodes and extract directional information from …

Playing Guess Who with your kids: Code-word strategy against adversaries

A Paz, L Peterfreund - Theoretical Computer Science, 2024 - Elsevier
Guess Who is a two-player search game in which each player chooses a character from a
deck of 24 cards, and has to infer the other player's character by asking yes-no questions. A …

Navigating in trees with permanently noisy advice

L Boczkowski, U Feige, A Korman… - ACM Transactions on …, 2021 - dl.acm.org
We consider a search problem on trees in which an agent starts at the root of a tree and
aims to locate an adversarially placed treasure, by moving along the edges, while relying on …

Time dependent biased random walks

J Haslegrave, T Sauerwald, J Sylvester - ACM Transactions on …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We study the biased random walk where at each step of a random walk a “controller” can,
with a certain small probability, move the walk to an arbitrary neighbour. This model was …

[PDF][PDF] Searching on trees with noisy memory

L Boczkowski, A Korman, Y Rodeh - CoRR, abs/1611.01403, 2016 - researchgate.net
We consider a search problem on trees using unreliable guiding instructions. Specifically,
an agent starts a search at the root of a tree aiming to find a treasure hidden at one of the …

Time and Space-Efficient Algorithms for Mobile Agents in an Anonymous Network

A Kosowski - 2013 - theses.hal.science
Computing with mobile agents is rapidly becoming a topic of mainstream research in the
theory of distributed computing. The main research questions undertaken in this study …

The impact of edge deletions on the number of errors in networks

C Glacet, N Hanusse, D Ilcinkas - International Conference On Principles …, 2011 - Springer
In this paper, we deal with an error model in distributed networks. For a target t, every node
is assumed to give an advice, ie. to point to a neighbour that take closer to the destination …
