Abstract

We study the following control problem. A fish with bounded aquatic locomotion speed swims in fast waters. Can this fish, under reasonable assumptions, get to a desired destination? It can, even if the flow is time-dependent. Moreover, given a prescribed sufficiently large time tt, it can be there at exactly the time tt. The major difference from our previous work is the time-dependence of the flow. We also give an application to homogenization of the G-equation.
