A Note on the Relation between Hartnell’s Firefighter Problem and Growth of Groups
The firefighter game problem on locally finite connected graphs was introduced by Bert Hartnell [6]. The game on a graph G can be described as follows: let fn be a sequence of positive integers; an initial fire starts at a finite set of vertices; at each (integer) time n ≥ 1, fn vertices which are not on fire become protected, and then the fire spreads to all unprotected neighbors of vertices o...
متن کاملThe firefighter problem with more than one firefighter on trees
In this paper we study the complexity of the firefighter problem and related problems on trees when more than one firefighter is available at each time step, and answer several open questions of [8]. More precisely, when b ≥ 2 firefighters are allowed at each time step, the problem is NP-complete for trees of maximum degree b+2 and polynomial-time solvable for trees of maximum degree b + 2 when...
متن کاملGroups of Intermediate Subgroup Growth and a Problem of Grothendieck
Let f be a function such that for every ε > 0, nlog n ≤ f (n) ≤ nεn holds if n is sufficiently large. Suppose that log f (n)/ log n is nondecreasing. Using sequences of finite alternating groups, for every such f we construct a 4-generator group 0 such that sn(0), the number of subgroups of index at most n in 0, grows like f (n). This essentially completes the investigation of the “spectrum” of...
متن کاملGroups of Intermediate Growth
I describe a class of groups acting on rooted trees that all have intermediate word growth between polynomial and exponential. The argument constructs a functional equation on the growth formal power series, and derives the growth properties from its analytical behaviour. This places under a unified proof all known or conjectured examples of such groups, and answers a few open questions by Rost...
متن کاملThe Stochastic Firefighter Problem
The dynamics of infectious diseases spread is crucial in determining their risk and offering ways to contain them. We study sequential vaccination of individuals in networks. In the original (deterministic) version of the Firefighter problem, a fire breaks out at some node of a given graph. At each time step, b nodes can be protected by a firefighter and then the fire spreads to all unprotected...
