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…

In a pursuit-evasion game, a team of pursuers attempt to capture an evader. The players alternate turns, move with equal speed, and have full information about the state of the game. We consider the most restictive capture condition: a…

Pursuit-evasion differential games using the Disturbance Attenuation approach are revisited. Under this approach, the pursuer actions are considered to be control actions, whereas all external actions, such as target maneuvers, measurement…
