Consider a database most of whose entries are marked but the precise fraction of marked entries is not known. What is known is that the fraction of marked entries is 1 − , where ...
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 n...
A constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) model can be preprocessed to ensure that any choices made will lead to solutions, without the need to backtrack. This can be especially usef...

We revisit classical geometric search problems under the assumption of rational coordinates. Our main result is a tight bound for point separation, ie, to determine whether n given...
Deciding what to branch on at each node is a key element of search algorithms. We present four families of methods for selecting what question to branch on. They are all informati...
