Title
An improved online evacuation strategy from a convex region on grid networks.
Abstract
This study considers an evacuation problem where an evacuee tries to escape to the boundary of a convex affected area on a grid network. The boundary is unknown to the evacuee and cannot be identified until reaching an arbitrary point of it. We propose an online evacuation strategy with a competitive ratio less than 17.5, which improves the previously best result of 19.5.
