Abstract

The flood searching algorithm, under the California Split rule, was studied. The flood search on a line indicated that no algorithm was capable of achieving an average-case competitive ratio of less than 4 in comparison to an optimal off-line algorithm. The study described the employed optimal scanning sequences. The sequences were obtained via recursive algorithms, which yield to complex behavior related to Hamiltonian chaos.
