contents The problem of locally routing on geometric networks using limited memory is extensively studied in computational geometry. We consider one particular graph, the ordered $Θ$-graph, which is significantly harder to route on than the $Θ$-graph, for which a number of routing algorithms are known. Currently, no local routing algorithm is known for the ordered $Θ$-graph. We prove that, unfortunately, there does not exist a deterministic memoryless local routing algorithm that works on the ordered $Θ$-graph. This motivates us to consider allowing a small amount of memory, and we present a deterministic $O(1)$-memory local routing algorithm that successfully routes from the source to the destination on the ordered $Θ$-graph. We show that our local routing algorithm converges to the destination in $O(n)$ hops, where $n$ is the number of vertices. To the best of our knowledge, our algorithm is the first deterministic local routing algorithm that is guaranteed to reach the destination on the ordered $Θ$-graph.
