Search and Rescue on the Plane

Aug 12, 2026

This study addresses an online search problem in the plane where an agent, starting from an arbitrary position and orientation, must locate an unknown target on the positive x-axis and transport it to the origin. Through competitive analysis, geometric modeling, and optimization theory, the work reveals a strategy phase transition induced by a critical angle θ* ≈ 15.6°: when the initial heading angle is below θ*, the optimal strategy involves first moving to a specific checkpoint before searching along the x-axis; otherwise, direct search is optimal. The paper provides an explicit formula for the checkpoint location as a function of the initial angle, derives a closed-form expression for the competitive ratio, and fully characterizes the structure of the optimal competitive algorithm for any initial orientation, thereby achieving theoretically optimal performance.

Analyzing Code Injection Attacks on LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems in Software Development

Dec 25, 2025

This study identifies a critical security vulnerability in LLM-driven multi-agent software development systems (e.g., coder-reviewer-tester architectures): their high autonomy and lack of intrinsic safety mechanisms render them susceptible to code injection attacks. We first establish a fine-grained threat model tailored to multi-agent software pipelines. To address this, we propose a novel defense paradigm integrating a dedicated security analysis agent—enabling robust protection without compromising development efficiency. Empirical evaluation reveals that few-shot poisoning injections increase attack success rates from 0% to 71.95%. Experiments further demonstrate that the coder-reviewer-tester architecture exhibits superior robustness over coder-only or coder-tester variants; the security agent effectively reconciles efficient code generation with strong adversarial resilience; and advanced adversarial injection attacks are successfully reproduced and quantified. Our core contributions include: (1) a novel, pipeline-aware threat modeling framework; (2) a principled security agent architecture; and (3) empirical validation and characterization of poisoning-based injection attacks.

Linear Search with Probabilistic Detection and Variable Speeds

May 14, 2025

This paper studies the linear search problem on an infinite line with probabilistic detection and dual-speed movement: an agent moves at unit speed (with detection success probability $p$) or reduced speed $v$ (guaranteeing deterministic detection), while the target location is unknown. We introduce the first model coupling movement speed with detection reliability and propose a piecewise competitive analysis framework. For three cases—$p=0$, $v=0$, and $p,v in (0,1)$—we derive tight upper bounds on the competitive ratio. Notably, when $p=0$, our algorithm achieves the optimal competitive ratio $2+sqrt{3}$. The proposed strategy balances robustness and efficiency, establishing a new paradigm for adaptive search under uncertainty and providing provable performance guarantees.
