Pebble guided Treasure Hunt in Plane
Adri Bhattacharya, Barun Gorain, Partha Sarathi Mandal · 2023-05-10 · via cs.DS updates on arXiv.org

We study the problem of treasure hunt in a Euclidean plane by a mobile agent with the guidance of pebbles. The initial position of the agent and position of the treasure are modeled as special points in the Euclidean plane. The treasure is situated at a distance at most $D>0$ from the initial position of the agent. The agent has a perfect compass, but an adversary controls the speed of the agent. Hence, the agent can not measure how much distance it traveled for a given time. The agent can find the treasure only when it reaches the exact position of the treasure. The cost of the treasure hunt is defined as the total distance traveled by the agent before it finds the treasure. The agent has no prior knowledge of the position of the treasure or the value of $D$. An Oracle, which knows the treasure's position and the agent's initial location, places some pebbles to guide the agent towards the treasure. Once decided to move along some specified angular direction, the agent can decide to change its direction only when it encounters a pebble or a special point. We ask the following central question in this paper: ``For given $k \ge 0$, What is cheapest treasure hunt algorithm if at most $k$ pebbles are placed by the Oracle?" We show that for $k=1$, there does not exist any treasure hunt algorithm that finds the treasure with finite cost. We show the existence of an algorithm with cost $O(D)$ for $k=2$. For $k>8$ we have designed an algorithm that uses $k$ many pebbles to find the treasure with cost $O(k^{2}) + D(\sinθ' + \cosθ')$, where $θ'=\fracπ{2^{k-8}}$. The second result shows the existence of an algorithm with cost arbitrarily close to $D$ for sufficiently large values of $D$.
