The interdiction problem arises in a variety of areas including military logistics, infectious disease control, and counter-terrorism. In the typical formulation of network interdiction, the task of the interdictor is to find a set of edges…

A gambler moves between the vertices $1, \ldots, n$ of a graph using the probability distribution $p_{1}, \ldots, p_{n}$. Multiple cops pursue the gambler on the graph, only being able to move between adjacent vertices. We investigate the…

We consider a model of an intelligent surfer moving on the Ulam network generated by a chaotic dynamics in the Chirikov standard map. This directed network is obtained by the Ulam method with a division of the phase space in cells of fixed…

We consider the escape interdiction problem in a transportation network. In the absence of traffic in the network, the criminal/attacker tries to escape from the city using any of the shortest paths from the crime scene to any randomly…

The localization game is a pursuit-evasion game analogous to Cops and Robbers, where the robber is invisible and the cops send distance probes in an attempt to identify the location of the robber. We present a novel graph parameter called…

This paper presents an algorithm to deploy a team of {\it free} guards equipped with omni-directional cameras for tracking a bounded speed intruder inside a simply-connected polygonal environment. The proposed algorithm partitions the…

This paper addresses a multi-pursuer single-evader pursuit-evasion game where the free-moving evader moves faster than the pursuers. Most of the existing works impose constraints on the faster evader such as limited moving area and moving…

A gambler moves on the vertices $1, \ldots, n$ of a graph using the probability distribution $p_{1}, \ldots, p_{n}$. A cop pursues the gambler on the graph, only being able to move between adjacent vertices. What is the expected number of…

In a multi-robot system, a number of autonomous robots would sense, communicate, and decide to move within a given domain to achieve a common goal. In this paper, we consider a new variant of the pursuit-evasion problem in which the robots…

A new surveillance-evasion differential game is posed and solved in which an agile pursuer (the prying pedestrian) seeks to remain within a given surveillance range of a less agile evader that aims to escape. In contrast to previous…

We consider the problem of graph searching with prediction recently introduced by Banerjee et al. (2022). In this problem, an agent, starting at some vertex $r$ has to traverse a (potentially unknown) graph $G$ to find a hidden goal node…

A mobile agent, starting from a node $s$ of a simple undirected connected graph $G=(V,E)$, has to explore all nodes and edges of $G$ using the minimum number of edge traversals. To do so, the agent uses a deterministic algorithm that allows…

In this paper, we consider the problem of controlling an underactuated system in unknown, and potentially adversarial environments. The emphasis will be on autonomous aerial vehicles, modelled by Dubins dynamics. The proposed control law is…

The application of graph signal processing (GSP) on partially observed graph signals with missing nodes has gained attention recently. This is because processing data from large graphs are difficult, if not impossible due to the lack of…

Adversarial search of a network for an immobile Hider (or target) was introduced and solved for rooted trees by Gal (1979). In this zero-sum game, a Hider picks a point to hide on the tree and a Searcher picks a unit speed trajectory…

Given an undirected graph, $G$, and vertices, $s$ and $t$ in $G$, the tracking paths problem is that of finding the smallest subset of vertices in $G$ whose intersection with any $s$-$t$ path results in a unique sequence. This problem is…

This paper studies a multiplayer reach-avoid differential game in the presence of general polygonal obstacles that block the players' motions. The pursuers cooperate to protect a convex region from the evaders who try to reach the region.…

We present a novel trajectory traversability estimation and planning algorithm for robot navigation in complex outdoor environments. We incorporate multimodal sensory inputs from an RGB camera, 3D LiDAR, and the robot's odometry sensor to…

We consider the problem of tracking an intruder using a network of wireless sensors. For tracking the intruder at each instant, the optimal number and the right configuration of sensors has to be powered. As powering the sensors consumes…

A detection system, modeled in a graph, is composed of "detectors" positioned at a subset of vertices in order to uniquely locate an ``intruder" at any vertex. \emph{Identifying codes} use detectors that can sense the presence or absence of…
