On the Suicidal Pedestrian Differential Game

TL;DR: It is shown that the case of point-capture reduces to a special version of Zermelo’s Navigation Problem (ZNP) for the pursuer, which can be used to validate the results obtained through the differential game framework, as well as to characterize the time-optimal trajectories.

Numerical solution of a pursuit-evasion differential game involving two spacecraft in low earth orbit

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered a zero-sum differential game in which there were two players, a pursuing spacecraft that tried to minimize a payoff and an evading spacecraft that attempted to maximize the same payoff.

An asymmetric version of the two car pursuit-evasion game

TL;DR: It is shown that the problem reduces to a special version of Zermelo's Navigation Problem (ZNP) for the pursuer, and the well-known ZNP solution can be used to validate the results obtained through the differential game framework as well as to characterize the time-optimal trajectories.

Time-optimal synthesis for the Zermelo-Markov-Dubins problem: The constant wind case

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of the Markov-Dubins problem and Zermelo's navigation problem is considered, and the problem of characterizing minimum-time paths with prescribed positions and tangents for a vehicle with Dubins-type kinematics in the presence of uniform winds/currents is considered.

Inequality path constraints in optimal control: a finite iteration ε-convergent scheme based on pointwise discretization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new approach to the analysis and implementation of path constraints in optimal control problems (OCPs) by discretizing path constraints on a finite number of points, yielding a set of interior-time point constraints replacing the original path constraints.
