Selfish Cops and Adversarial Robber: Multi-Player Pursuit Evasion on Graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce and study the game of " Selfish Cops and Adversarial Robber " (SCAR) which is an N-player generalization of the " classic " two-player cops and robbers (CR) game. We prove that SCAR has a Nash equilibrium in deterministic strategies.

The Role of Visibility in Pursuit / Evasion Games
The cops-and-robber (CR) game has been used in mobile robotics as a discretized model (played on a graph G) of pursuit/evasion problems. The “classic” CR version is a perfect information game: the cops’ (pursuer’s) location is always known to the robber (evader) and vice versa. Many variants of the classic game can be defined: the robber can be invisible and also the robber can be either advers...
متن کاملPursuit and Evasion from a Distance: Algorithms and Bounds
Cops and Robber is a pursuit and evasion game played on graphs that has received much attention. We consider an extension of Cops and Robber, distance k Cops and Robber, where the cops win if they are distance at most k from the robber in G. The cop number of a graph G is the minimum number of cops needed to capture the robber in G. The distance k analogue of the cop number, written ck(G), equa...
متن کاملThe Cops and Robber game on graphs with forbidden (induced) subgraphs
The two-player, complete information game of Cops and Robber is played on undirected finite graphs. A number of cops and one robber are positioned on vertices and take turns in sliding along edges. The cops win if, after a move, a cop and the robber are on the same vertex. The minimum number of cops needed to catch the robber on a graph is called the cop number of that graph. In this paper, we ...
متن کاملVisibility Graphs, Dismantlability, and the Cops and Robbers Game
We study versions of cop and robber pursuit-evasion games on the visibility graphs of polygons, and inside polygons with straight and curved sides. Each player has full information about the other player’s location, players take turns, and the robber is captured when the cop arrives at the same point as the robber. In visibility graphs we show the cop can always win because visibility graphs ar...
متن کاملCops and Robber with Constraints
Cops & Robber is a classical pursuit-evasion game on undirected graphs, where the task is to identify the minimum number of cops sufficient to catch the robber. In this paper, we investigate the changes in problem’s complexity and combinatorial properties with constraining the following natural game parameters • Fuel : The number of steps each cop can make; • Cost : The total sum of steps along...
