Pines family

The Pines family, often studied in mathematics, is a set of objects involved in a graph theory problem called the "rendezvous problem." They are modeled as points (vertices) connected by lines (edges), representing possible paths. This family helps researchers understand how certain network structures affect the ability of agents to meet or coordinate within a system. By analyzing the properties of Pines graphs, mathematicians can identify optimal strategies for navigation, communication, and resource sharing in complex networks, with applications ranging from robotics to social networks.
