Abstract: We consider the Dynamic Map Visitation Problem (DMVP), in which a team of agents must visit a collection of critical locations as quickly as possible, in an environment that may change rapidly and unpredictably during the agents' navigation. We apply recent formulations of time-varying graphs (TVGs) to DMVP, shedding new light on the computational hierarchy mathcalRsupsetmathcalBsupsetmathcalP of TVG classes by analyzing them in the context of graph navigation. We provide hardness results for all three classes, and for several restricted topologies, we show a separation between the classes by showing severe inapproximability in mathcalR, limited approximability in mathcalB, and tractability in mathcalP. We also give topologies in which DMVP in mathcalR is fixed parameter tractable, which may serve as a first step toward fully characterizing the features that make DMVP difficult.
