The rendezvous search problem asks how two (or more) agents who are lost in a common region can optimize the process by which they meet. Usually they have restricted speed (unit speed in the continuous time context; moves allowed to adjacent nodes in discrete time). In all cases the agents are not aware of each other’s location. This chapter is concerned with the ‘operations research’ version of the problem – where optimization of the search process is interpreted as minimizing the expected time to meet, or possibly maximizing the probability of meeting within a given time. The deterministic approaches taken by the theoretical computer science community will not be considered here.
