Online searching with turn cost
We consider the problem of searching for an object on a line at an unknown distance OPT from the original position of the searcher, in the presence of a cost of d for each time the searcher changes direction. This is a generalization of the well-studied linear-search problem. We describe a strategy that is guaranteed to find the object at a cost of at most 9 · OPT + 2d, which has the optimal co...
متن کاملOnline Searching
We consider the problem of searching m branches which, with the exception of a common source s, are disjoint (hereafter called concurrent branches). A searcher, starting at s, must find a given “exit” t whose location, unknown to the searcher, is on one of the m branches. The problem is to find a strategy that minimizes the worst case ratio between the total distance traveled and the length of ...
متن کاملOnline Searching with an Autonomous Robot
We discuss online strategies for visibility-based searching for an object hidden behind a corner, using Kurt3D, a real autonomous mobile robot. This task is closely related to a number of well-studied problems. Our robot uses a three-dimensional laser scanner in a stop, scan, plan, go fashion for building a virtual three-dimensional environment. Besides planning trajectories and avoiding obstac...
متن کاملsubject searching in online cataloging systems
in online catalogs, searching based on subject keywords, comprise a significant percentage of searches. various studies, especially those of us origin, have stated it to be more than 50 percent. due to the importance of subject searching in online cataloging systems for users, much efforts is being exerted on the part of researchers and designers of such cataloging systems to increase its perfo...
متن کاملSearching with lies under error cost constraints
The Rényi-Berlekamp-Ulam game is a classical model for the problem of determining the minimum number of queries to find an unknown member in a finite set when up to a finite number of the answers may be erroneous. In the variant considered in this paper, questions with q many possible answers are allowed, further lies are constrained by a bipartite graph with edges weighted by 0, 1, 2, . . . (t...
