摘要
Does there exist a universal sequence for all mazes on the two-dimensional integer lattice? This fundamental problem remains unsolved, despite several interesting results relating the question to random walks and other fundamental phenomena. We will discuss background on this problem, as well as presenting some recent results, which are joint work with Mariaclara Ragosta.
