In this paper, we investigate a pursuit-evasion game in which a mobile observer tries to track a target in an environment containing obstacles. We formulate the game as an optimal control problem with state inequality constraint in a simple…

This paper is concerned with finding an optimal path for an observer, or sensor, moving at a constant speed, which is to estimate the position of a stationary target, using only bearing angle measurements. The generated path is optimal in…

This paper introduces a nonlinear optimal guidance framework for guiding a pursuer to intercept a moving target, with an emphasis on real-time generation of optimal feedback control for a nonlinear optimal control problem. Initially,…

The optimal cooperative guidance in the nonlinear setting for intercepting a target by multiple pursuers is studied in the paper. As certain relative angles can improve observability, the guidance command is required to cooperatively…

We consider a pursuit-evasion scenario involving a group of pursuers and a single evader in a two-dimensional unbounded environment. The pursuers aim to capture the evader in finite time while ensuring the evader remains enclosed within the…

Given a sequential learning algorithm and a target model, sequential machine teaching aims to find the shortest training sequence to drive the learning algorithm to the target model. We present the first principled way to find such shortest…

This paper examines the degree to which an evader seeking a safe and efficient path to a target location can benefit from increasing levels of knowledge regarding one or more range-limited pursuers seeking to intercept it. Unlike previous…

The minimum-time path for intercepting a moving target with a prescribed impact angle is studied in the paper. The candidate paths from Pontryagin's maximum principle are analyzed, so that each candidate is related to a zero of a…

Pursuing a drifting target in a turbulent flow is an extremely difficult task whenever the searcher has limited propulsion and maneuvering capabilities. Even in the case when the relative distance between pursuer and target stays below the…

We study a continuous time stochastic optimal control problem under partial observations that are available only at discrete time instants. This hybrid setting, with continuous dynamics and intermittent noisy measurements, arises in…

The controller of an input-affine system is determined through minimizing a time-varying objective function, where stabilization is ensured via a Lyapunov function decay condition as constraint. This constraint is incorporated into the…

We introduce a problem in which a service vehicle seeks to guard a deadline (boundary) from dynamically arriving mobile targets. The environment is a rectangle and the deadline is one of its edges. Targets arrive continuously over time on…

Consider a general nonlinear optimal control problem in finite dimension, with constant state and/or control delays. By the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, any optimal trajectory is the projection of a Pontryagin extremal. We establish that,…

A defender dispatches patrollers to circumambulate a perimeter to guard against potential attacks. The defender decides on the time points to dispatch patrollers and each patroller's direction and speed, as long as the long-run rate…

This paper addresses a UAV path planning task that seeks to observe a set of objects while satisfying the observation quality constraint. A dynamic programming algorithm is proposed that enables the UAV to observe the target objects with…

What is the fastest way of finding a randomly hidden target? This question of general relevance is of vital importance for foraging animals. Experimental observations reveal that the search behaviour of foragers is generally intermittent:…

In this paper, an optimal control problem is considered where a target vehicle aims to reach a desired location in minimum time while avoiding a dynamic engagement zone. Using simple motion, four potential approaches are considered. First,…

Limited bandwidth and limited saturation in actuators are practical concerns in control systems. Mathematically, these limitations manifest as constraints being imposed on the control actions, their rates of change, and more generally, the…

An optimal guidance law for impact time control with field-of-view constraint is presented. The guidance law is derived by first converting the inequality-constrained nonlinear optimal control problem into an equality-constrained one…

This paper is concerned with devising the nonlinear optimal guidance for intercepting a stationary target with a fixed impact time. According to Pontryagin's Maximum Principle (PMP), some optimality conditions for the solutions of the…
