Research Abstract

In this project, we studied mathematically four models related to search problems.
(1)Search games with switching cost and examination, cost,
(2)The quiet accumulation game on a linear graph,
(3)Rendezvous search on a graph,
(4)Search games related to probe complexity in quorum systems.
For the model (1), we have got optimal strategies of the seekr when the underlying graph is cyclic, and this result will be published. For the model (2), we solved the cases when the number of nodes is small and gave bounds for the value of the game by considering special search strategies for both players. For the model (3), we have been studying optimal strategies for the both players when the underlying graph is star-shaped. For the model (4), we got optimal strategies for the both players when the underlying graphs are wheel-shaped, etc. and gave a talk at the annual meeting of the Operations Research Society of Japan.
