摘要

在 "警察与强盗 "游戏中，最有用的结果之一就是图中的等距路径可以由一个警察看守。在本文中，我们引入了子图中宽阴影的概念，并用它来描述所有可由 1 名警察看守的图。作为一个应用，我们证明了在任何平面图中，3 个警察都可以抓住一个劫匪，但附加的限制条件是最多有两个警察可以同时移动，这证明了杨的一个猜想，并加强了艾格纳和弗洛姆的一个经典结果。

Guarding isometric subgraphs and cops and robber in planar graphs

In the game of Cops and Robbers, one of the most useful results is that an isometric path in a graph can be guarded by one cop. In this paper, we introduce the concept of wide shadow in a subgraph, and use it to characterize all 1-guardable graphs. As an application, we show that 3 cops can capture a robber in any planar graph with the added restriction that at most two cops can move simultaneously, proving a conjecture of Yang and strengthening a classical result of Aigner and Fromme.

期刊介绍： The European Journal of Combinatorics is a high standard, international, bimonthly journal of pure mathematics, specializing in theories arising from combinatorial problems. The journal is primarily open to papers dealing with mathematical structures within combinatorics and/or establishing direct links between combinatorics and other branches of mathematics and the theories of computing. The journal includes full-length research papers on important topics.
