An Optimal Evader Strategy in a Two-Pursuer One-Evader Problem

Copyright © 2014 IEEEPresented at the 53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, Los Angeles, CA, Dec. 15-17, 2014DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/CDC.2014.7040054We consider a relay pursuit-evasion problem with two pursuers and one evader. We reduce the problem to a one-pursuer/one-evader problem subject to a state constraint. A suboptimal control strategy for the evader to prolong capture is proposed and is compared to the optimal evading strategy. Extensions to the multiple-pursuer/one-evader case are also presented and evaluated via numerical simulations
