In the eternal vertex cover problem, mobile guards on the vertices of a graph are used to defend it against an infinite sequence of attacks on its edges by moving to neighbor vertices. The eternal vertex cover problem consists in determining the minimum number of necessary guards. Motivated by previous literature, in this paper, we study the vertex cover and eternal vertex cover problems on regular grids, when passing from infinite to finite version of the same graphs, and we provide either coinciding or very tight lower and upper bounds on the number of necessary guards. To this aim, we generalize the notions of minimum vertex covers and minimum eternal vertex cover in order to be well defined for infinite grids.

  1. m-Eternal Domination and Variants on Some Classes of Finite and Infinite Graphs

    cs.DM 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The m-eternal domination problem and its Roman and Italian variants are NP-hard on narrow graph classes, and four infinite regular grids admit strongly optimal eternally-dominating guard sets.
