Strong digital topological complexity of digital maps.

In the paper, we study a digital topological complexity of a digital map and its properties. Firstly, we discuss a strong digital homotopy which allows iterative algorithms based on our previous work. As a generalization of the topological complexity in terms of the strong digital homotopy (we call it strong digital topological complexity), we next study the strong digital f -sectional category of a strong digital fibration. Then we investigate estimates of the upper and lower bounds for the strong digital topological complexity of digital maps. We also reveal the difference between the strong digital topological complexity and the ordinary digital ones. It has shown that the strong digital topological complexity is more similar to the classical continuous case than the ordinary digital ones. Moreover, arising from practical considerations in robotics, we consider the naive digital topological complexity of digital maps. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
