Title of TalkCops and Robbers on Oriented Graphs
AbstractCops and Robbers is a turn-based game traditionally played on graphs. In this talk, we extend this game to oriented graphs. Although a complete characterization of 1-cop-win graphs is known, there is not yet a corresponding characterization for oriented graphs. Necessary conditions are described for an oriented graph to be 1-cop-win, and several results are provided toward finding sufficient conditions.
