Linear Quadratic Pursuit–Evasion Games on Time Scales

In this paper, we unify and extend the linear quadratic pursuit–evasion games to dynamic equations on time scales. A mixed strategy for a single pursuer and evader is studied in two settings. In the open-loop setting, the corresponding controls are expressed in terms of a zero-input difference. In the closed-loop setting, the corresponding controls require a mixing feedback term when rewriting the system in extended state form. Finally, we offer a numerical simulation.

Abstract

In this paper, we unify and extend the linear quadratic pursuit–evasion games to dynamic equations on time scales. A mixed strategy for a single pursuer and evader is studied in two settings. In the open-loop setting, the corresponding controls are expressed in terms of a zero-input difference. In the closed-loop setting, the corresponding controls require a mixing feedback term when rewriting the system in extended state form. Finally, we offer a numerical simulation.
