In this paper, a time-optimal feedback solution to the game of two cars, for the case where the pursuer is faster and more agile than the evader, is presented. The concept of continuous subsets of the reachable set is introduced to…

Game-theoretic inverse learning is the problem of inferring a player's objectives from their actions. We formulate an inverse learning problem in a Stackelberg game between a leader and a follower, where each player's action is the…

This paper studies a novel encirclement guaranteed cooperative pursuit problem involving $N$ pursuers and a single evader in an unbounded two-dimensional game domain. Throughout the game, the pursuers are required to maintain encirclement…

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 investigates the non-zero-sum linear-quadratic stochastic Stackelberg differential games with affine constraints, which depend on both the follower's response and the leader's strategy. With the help of the stochastic Riccati…

Here we present a decomposition technique for a class of differential games. The technique consists in a decomposition of the target set which produces, for geometrical reasons, a decomposition in the dimensionality of the problem. Using…

In this study, we consider a multi-pursuer single-evader quantitative pursuit-evasion game with payoff function that includes only the terminal cost. The terminal cost is a function related only to the terminal position of the evader. This…

In this paper we formulate and solve a mean-field game described by a linear stochastic dynamics and a quadratic or exponential-quadratic cost functional for each generic player. The optimal strategies for the players are given explicitly…

In the Target-Attacker-Defender (TAD) differential game, an Attacker missile strives to capture a Target aircraft. The Target tries to escape the Attacker and is aided by a Defender missile which aims at intercepting the Attacker before the…

This work addresses competitive resource allocation in a sequential setting, where two players allocate resources across objects or locations of shared interest. Departing from the simultaneous Colonel Blotto game, our framework introduces…

In this paper, we first address a linear quadratic mean-field game problem with a leader-follower structure. By adopting a Riccati-type approach, we show how one can obtain a state-feedback representation of the pairs of strategies which…

We revisit the two-player planar target-defense game initially posed by Isaacs where a pursuer (or defender) attempts to guard a target set from an attack by an evader (or attacker). This paper builds on existing analytical solutions to…

We present high order explicit geometric integrators to solve linear-quadratic optimal control problems and $N$-player differential games. These problems are described by a system coupled non-linear differential equations with boundary…

In the first part of this work [32], we introduce a convex parabolic relaxation for quadratically-constrained quadratic programs, along with a sequential penalized parabolic relaxation algorithm to recover near-optimal feasible solutions.…

Efficient and fast predictor-corrector methods are proposed to deal with nonlinear Caputo-Fabrizio fractional differential equations, where Caputo-Fabrizio operator is a new proposed fractional derivative with a smooth kernel. The proposed…

Pursuit-Evasion Games (in discrete time) are stochastic games with nonnegative daily payoffs, with the final payoff being the cumulative sum of payoffs during the game. We show that such games admit a value even in the presence of…

We consider a class of pursuit-evasion differential games in which the evader has continuous access to the pursuer's location, but not vice-versa. There is an immobile sensor (e.g., a ground radar station) that can sense the evader's…

Most of the existing research on pursuit-evasion game (PEG) is conducted in a two-dimensional (2D) environment. In this paper, we investigate the PEG in a 3D space. We extend the Apollonius circle (AC) to the 3D space and introduce its…

This paper aims to solve the optimal strategy against a well-known adaptive algorithm, the Hedge algorithm, in a finitely repeated $2\times 2$ zero-sum game. In the literature, related theoretical results are very rare. To this end, we make…

This paper investigates obstacle-free simple motion pursuit-evasion problems where the pursuer is faster and game termination is point capture. It is well known that the interior of the Apollonius Circle (AC) is the evader's dominance…
