In the field of security, multi-objective security games (MOSGs) allow defenders to simultaneously protect targets from multiple heterogeneous attackers. MOSGs aim to simultaneously maximize all the heterogeneous payoffs, e.g., life, money,…
The security in networked systems depends greatly on recognizing and identifying adversarial behaviors. Traditional detection methods focus on specific categories of attacks and have become inadequate for increasingly stealthy and deceptive…
We consider a surveillance-evasion game in an environment with obstacles. In such an environment, a mobile pursuer seeks to maintain the visibility with a mobile evader, who tries to get occluded from the pursuer in the shortest time…
This letter presents a density function based safe control synthesis framework for the pursuit-evasion problem. We extend safety analysis to dynamic unsafe sets by formulating a reach-avoid type pursuit-evasion differential game as a robust…
An operational relevant conflict between teams of autonomous vehicles in the Beyond Visual Range domain is addressed in this paper. Optimal strategies are designed in order for a team of air interceptors to protect a high value asset and…
This paper examines multiplayer symmetric constant-sum games with more than two players in a competitive setting, including examples like Mahjong, Poker, and various board and video games. In contrast to two-player zero-sum games,…
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly prevalent in various domains, ranging from military operations to civilian applications. However, the proliferation of UAVs has also given rise to concerns regarding their potential…
In this paper, a pursuit-evasion game of two players known as the game of two identical cars is examined. It is assumed that the game proceeds on a two-dimensional plane. Both players have constant speeds and limited turn radii. The goal of…
In this paper, we present a game-theoretic feedback terminal guidance law for an autonomous, unpowered hypersonic pursuit vehicle that seeks to intercept an evading ground target whose motion is constrained in a one-dimensional space. We…
We present a framework that incorporates the idea of bounded rationality into dynamic stochastic pursuit-evasion games. The solution of a stochastic game is characterized, in general, by its (Nash) equilibria in feedback form. However,…
The perimeter defense game has received interest in recent years as a variant of the pursuit-evasion game. A number of previous works have solved this game to obtain the optimal strategies for defender and intruder, but the derived theory…
Assume that inside an initial planar area there are smart mobile evaders attempting to avoid detection by a team of sweeping searching agents. All sweepers detect evaders with fan-shaped sensors, modeling the field of view of real cameras.…
Considered is a class of pursuit-evasion games, in which an evader tries to avoid detection. Such games can be formulated as the search for sections to the complement of a coverage region in a Euclidean space over a timeline. Prior results…
Recent advances in robotics have enabled the widespread deployment of autonomous robotic systems in complex operational environments, presenting both unprecedented opportunities and significant security problems. Traditional shepherding…
We study a multi-body asset-guarding game in missile defense where teams of interceptor missiles collaborate to defend a non-manuevering asset against a group of threat missiles. We approach the problem in two steps. We first formulate an…
Infinitely repeated games can support cooperative outcomes that are not equilibria in the one-shot game. The idea is to make sure that any gains from deviating will be offset by retaliation in future rounds. However, this model of…
We address a problem of area protection in graph-based scenarios with multiple agents. The problem consists of two adversarial teams of agents that move in an undirected graph shared by both teams. Agents are placed in vertices of the…
This paper addresses the active target defense differential game where an Attacker missile pursues a Target aircraft. A Defender missile is fired by the Target's wingman in order to intercept the Attacker before it reaches the aircraft.…
In this paper, we present a dual-layer online optimization strategy for defender robots operating in multiplayer reach-avoid games within general convex environments. Our goal is to intercept as many attacker robots as possible without…
The game of cops and robber is a pursuit-evasion game played on graphs that has been extensively studied. Traditionally the game is played with one or more cops and only one robber, but in this paper we consider the game played with…
