In this paper we consider the straight-ahead orientations of 4-regular quadrangulations of the torus and the Klein bottle and we prove that their cop number is bounded by a constant. We also show that the cop number of every k-regularly oriented toroidal grid is at most 13.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-04-23T01:11:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cop number", "well-known game", "straight-ahead orientations", "klein bottle", "k-regularly oriented toroidal grid" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
