We consider concurrent games played on graphs. At every round of a game, each player simultaneously and independently selects a move; the moves jointly determine the transition to a successor state. Two basic objectives are the safety…
We consider the following generalization of the classical pursuit-evasion problem, which we call k-capture. A group of n pursuers (hyenas) wish to capture an evader (lion) who is free to move in an m-dimensional Euclidean space, the…
To be successful in multi-player drone racing, a player must not only follow the race track in an optimal way, but also compete with other drones through strategic blocking, faking, and opportunistic passing while avoiding collisions. Since…
This paper studies a two-person linear-quadratic-Gaussian pursuit-evasion differential game with costly but controlled information. One player can decide when to observe the other player's state. However, one observation of another player's…
We study a pursuit-evasion game between two players with car-like dynamics and sensing limitations by formalizing it as a partially observable stochastic zero-sum game. The partial observability caused by the sensing constraints is…
This article investigates the practical scenarios of chasing an adversarial evader in an unbounded environment with cluttered obstacles. We propose a Voronoi-based decentralized algorithm for multiple pursuers to encircle and capture the…
This paper studies a target-defense game played between a slow defender and a fast attacker. The attacker wins the game if it reaches the target while avoiding the defender's capture disk. The defender wins the game by preventing the…
This paper proposes a new perspective on the conventional planar target tracking problem. One evader and one pursuer are considered in the dynamics. In the planar tracking, pursuer has the ability to measure the position and the velocity…
Using multiple mobile robots in search missions offers a lot of benefits, but one needs a suitable and competent motion control algorithm which is able to consider sensors characteristics, the uncertainty of target detection and complexity…
In this report, we propose a decentralised motion control algorithm for the mobile robots to intercept an intruder entering (k-intercepting) or escaping (e-intercepting) a protected region. In continuation, we propose a decentralized…
This paper considers for the first time pursuit-evasion (PE) differential games with irrational perceptions of both pursuer and evader on probabilistic characteristics of environmental uncertainty. Firstly, the irrational perceptions of…
This paper introduced a pursuit and evasion game to be played on a connected graph. One player moves invisibly around the graph, and the other player must guess his position. At each time step the second player guesses a vertex, winning if…
Cislunar space is becoming a critical domain for future lunar and interplanetary missions, yet its remoteness, sparse infrastructure, and unstable dynamics create single points of failure. Adversaries in cislunar orbits can exploit these…
This paper addresses the visibility-based pursuit-evasion problem where a team of pursuer robots operating in a two-dimensional polygonal space seek to establish visibility of an arbitrarily fast evader. This is a computationally…
This study presents a numerical analysis framework for pursuit--evasion differential games under the Stackelberg equilibrium. The Semi-DCNLP method is introduced as an optimization solver for flight path optimization problems formulated…
We study versions of cop and robber pursuit-evasion games on the visibility graphs of polygons, and inside polygons with straight and curved sides. Each player has full information about the other player's location, players take turns, and…
This paper discusses a cooperative strategy for capturing a target using multiple pursuers in a planar scenario. Given an initial position distribution of pursuers, the Voronoi Diagram is employed to characterize the target's proximity…
Shmuel Gal and Jerome Casas have recently introduced a game theoretic model that combines search and pursuit by a predator for a prey animal. The prey (hider) can hide in a finite number of locations. The predator (searcher) can inspect any…
We study a new bilevel optimization problem, termed the Randomized Max-Vertex-Cover Interdiction (RMVCI) problem under matroid constraints, which can be modeled as a zero-sum Stackelberg game on a network between a leader and a follower.…
The Stackelberg security game is played between a defender and an attacker, where the defender needs to allocate a limited amount of resources to multiple targets in order to minimize the loss due to adversarial attack by the attacker.…
