We consider an evasion differential game of many pursuers and one evader with integralconstraints in the plane. The game is described by simple equations. Each component of the controlfunctions of players is subjected to integral constraint. Evasion is said to be possible if the stateof the evader does not coincide with that of any pursuer. Strategy of the evader is constructedbased on controls of the pursuers with lag. A sufficient condition of evasion from many pursuersis obtained and an illustrative example is provided.

1. Introduction

1.1. Related Works

Among a large number of papers devoted to differential games with integral constraints(see, e.g., [1–14]), a few works are dedicated to evasion games with integral constraints (see,e.g., [1, 4, 7, 12]). Note that integral constraints arise if we consider constraints on energy,resources, and so forth. In [1], an evasion differential game was considered. In the paper [1],the dynamics of the object z(t) is given by the equation

z = Az − u + v, z(0) = z0, (1.1)

where z ∈ Rn, A is a constant matrix, and u and v are control parameters of the

pursuer and evader, respectively. The control functions u(t)and v(t) of the pursuer andevader,respectively, are defined as measurable functions satisfying conditions

∫∞

0|u(t)|2dt ≤ ρ2,

∫∞

0|v(t)|2dt ≤ σ2. (1.2)

The terminal set M is a subspace of Rn. By definition evasion is possible if z(t) /∈ M, t ≥ 0. In

this work Pontryagin’s method was extended to the evasion game with integral constraintsand sufficient conditions of evasion from any initial position were obtained.

In [4], a differential game described by (1.1) was studied. The control functions u(t)and v(t) satisfy conditions (1.2). Evasion is said to be possible if z(t) /∈ M, whereM = ∪m

i=1Mi,Mi are subspaces of R

n. The pursuers’ purpose is to take the point z(t) onto the terminal setM; the evader’s one, to guarantee evasion from the setM. By definition, l-escape is possible if|z(t)| ≥ l(t) > 0, t ≥ 0 for some function l(t). Sufficient conditions for l-escape were obtained.

In the book [12] (chapter 11), linear evasion differential game with integral constraintswas examined. The game is described by the equation

z = Az − Bu + Cv, z(0) = z0, (1.3)

where z ∈ Rn, A, B, and C are constant matrices and u and v are control parameters of

the pursuer and evader, respectively. The control functions u(t) and v(t) of the pursuer andevader are subjected to the conditions (1.2). The terminal set M is a subspace of R

n. Bydefinition evasion is possible if z(t) /∈ M, t ≥ 0. Some sufficient conditions of evasion wereobtained.

In [5], a differential game of countably many pursuers and one evader is described bythe following infinite system of differential equations:

zik = −λkzik − uik + vk, zik(t0) = z0ik, k = 1, 2, . . . , (1.4)

which was studied in the Hilbert space l2r+1, where

zik, uik, vk, t0, z0ik ∈ R, z0i =

(z0i1, z

0i2, . . .

)∈ l2r+1, z0i /= 0, (1.5)

ui = (ui1, ui2, . . .) is the control parameter of ith pursuer, i = 1, 2, . . ., and v = (v1, v2, . . .) is thatof the evader. The control functions of the players are subject to integral constraints

, T > 0. (1.6)

Avoidance of contact is said to be possible in the game with the initial position z0 ={z01, z02, . . . , z0m, . . .}, z0i ∈ l2r+1, if zi(t) = (zi1(t), zi2(t), . . .)/= 0, for all t ∈ [0, T] and i = 1, 2, . . .. Itwas proven that if σ2 >

∑∞k=1 ρ

2k, then avoidance of contact is possible in the game from any

initial position z0 = {z01, . . . , z0m, . . .}, z0i ∈ l2r+1, z0i /= 0, i = 1, 2, . . . .

The work [7] deals with the evasion differential game of m pursuers x1, . . . , xm andone evader y described by equations

xi = ui, xi(0) = xi0, y = v, y(0) = y0, xi0 /=y0, i = 1, . . . , m. (1.7)

The game occurs in the plane and the following conditions:

∫∞

0|ui(s)|2ds ≤ ρ2i , i = 1, . . . , m,

∫∞

0|v(s)|2ds ≤ σ2 (1.8)

are imposed on control functions of the players. The main result of the paper is as follow: ifρ21 + ρ22 + · · · + ρ2m ≤ σ2, then evasion is possible. The important point to note here is the factthat if ρ21 + ρ22 + · · · + ρ2m > σ2, then pursuit can be completed [13].

It should be noted that in all of these works, an integral constraint was imposed on thewhole control function of each player, such as

∫∞

0|v(s)|2ds ≤ σ2. (1.9)

However, in contrast to other works, in the present paper, we study a differential gamewith integral constraints imposed on each coordinate of control functions (see the constraints(1.12)-(1.13)).

At first glance, the inequalities ρ21i+ρ22i+ · · ·+ρ2mi > σ2

i , i = 1, 2 seem to be the conditionsfor completing pursuit. It turns out, as shown in the example, evasion is possible from someinitial positions even though these inequalities hold.

1.2. Statement of the Problem

In R2, we consider an evasion differential game of many pursuers x1, . . . , xm and one evader

y described by the equations

xi = ui, xi(0) = xi0, i = 1, . . . , m, (1.10)

y = v, y(0) = y0, (1.11)

and assume that x0i /=y0, x0

i = (x0i1, x

0i2), i = 1, . . . , m, y0 = (y0

1 , y02).

Definition 1.1. A measurable function ui(t) = (ui1(t), ui2(t)), t ≥ 0 is called an admissiblecontrol of the pursuer xi if

∫∞

0|ui1(s)|2ds ≤ ρ2i1,

∫∞

0|ui2(s)|2ds ≤ ρ2i2, (1.12)

where ρi1, ρi2, i = 1, . . . , m are given positive numbers.

Definition 1.2. Ameasurable function v(t) = (v1(t), v2(t)), t ≥ 0 is called an admissible controlof the evader y if

∫∞

0|v1(s)|2ds ≤ σ2

1 ,

∫∞

0|v2(s)|2ds ≤ σ2

2 , (1.13)

where σ1 and σ2 are given positive numbers.

Definition 1.3. A function of the form

V (t) =

{0, 0 ≤ t ≤ ε,

f(u1(t − ε), . . . , um(t − ε)), t > ε(1.14)

is called a strategy of the evader, where ε is a positive number, f : R2m → R

2 is a continuousfunction, and u1(t), . . . , um(t), t ≥ 0 are admissible controls of the pursuers.

Definition 1.4. We say that evasion is possible from the initial position (x01, x

02, . . . , x

0m, y

0) inthe game (1.10)–(1.13) if there exists a strategy of the evader V such that xi(t)/=y(t), t ≥ 0,i = 1, . . . , m for any admissible controls of the pursuers.

We can now state the evasion problem.

Problem 1. Find conditions for all initial positions (x01, x

02, . . . , x

0m, y

0) and parameters σ1, σ2,ρi1, ρi2, i = 1, . . . , m which guarantee evasion in the game (1.10)–(1.13).

This is the main problem to be investigated in the present paper. It should be notedthat, in the evasion game, the pursuers use arbitrary admissible controls u1(t), . . . , um(t), t ≥0, and the evader uses a strategy. By Definition 1.3 this strategy is constructed based on valuesu1(t − ε), . . . , um(t − ε).

After the proof of the main result (Theorem 2.1) we will give illustrative examples.For the initial positions, which do not satisfy hypotheses of the theorem, we will show thatpursuit can be completed. Therefore, at first we have to give a definition for “pursuit can becompleted”. To this end we need to define strategies of the pursuers.

Definition 1.5. A Borel measurable function Ui(v) = (Ui1(v), Ui2(v)), Ui : R2 → R

2 is calleda strategy of the pursuer xi if for any control of the evader v(t), t ≥ 0 and the inequalities

∫∞

0|Ui1(v(s))|2ds ≤ ρ2i1,

∫∞

0|Ui2(v(s))|2ds ≤ ρ2i2 (1.15)

hold.

Definition 1.6. We say that pursuit can be completed from the initial position(x0

1, x02, . . . , x

0m, y

0) in the game (1.10)–(1.13) if there exist strategies of the pursuers Ui,i = 1, . . . , m such that for any admissible control of the evader the equality xi(τ) = y(τ) holdsat some i ∈ {1, . . . , m} and τ ≥ 0.

Note that in the pursuit game, the pursuers use strategies and the evader uses anyadmissible control v(t) (see Definition 1.6). According to Definition 1.5 at current time t thepursuers use v(t) to construct their strategies.

2. Main Result

The main result of the paper is formulated as follows.

Theorem 2.1. Assume the following conditions hold.

(1) There exists a subset I of the set {1, . . . , m} such that∑i∈I

2 = mini∈J

x0i2, x′′

2 = maxi∈J

x0i2. (2.2)

Then evasion is possible in the game (1.10)–(1.13).

Proof. Let ρ = (∑m

1/2, and let ε, ε < 1/(4ρ2)min{(y0

2, (y02−x′′

number. We construct a strategy for the evader as follows:

v1(t) =y01 − x0

i∈I u2i1(t − ε)

)1/2, t > ε,

l2

∣∣⎧⎨⎩0, 0 ≤ t ≤ ε,(∑

i∈J u2i2(t − ε)

)1/2, t > ε,

(2.4)

where u1(t), . . . , um(t), t ≥ 0 are any admissible controls of the pursuers, and k ∈ I andl ∈ J are arbitrary numbers. The pursuers use any admissible controls and the evader usesthe strategy (2.3) and (2.4). We’ll prove that evasion is possible. We examine the case y0

1 >x′′1, y0

2 > x′′2. Other cases such as

y10 > x′′1, y20 < x′

2; y10 < x′1, y20 > x′′

2 ; y10 < x′1, y20 < x′

2 (2.5)

can also be considered similarly. It follows from the inequalities y01 > x′′

1, y02 > x′′

2 that y01 > x0

k1,y02 > x0

l2, and so

y01 − x0

k1∣∣y01 − x0

k1

∣∣ = 1,y02 − x0

l2∣∣y02 − x0

l2

∣∣ = 1. (2.6)

Then (2.3) and (2.4) take the following form:

v1(t) =

{0, 0 ≤ t ≤ ε,(∑

i∈I u2i1(t − ε)

)1/2, t > ε,

(2.7)

v2(t) =

⎧⎨⎩0, 0 ≤ t ≤ ε,(∑

i∈J u2i2(t − ε)

)1/2, t > ε.

(2.8)

First, we show that evasion is possible on the time interval [0, ε]. Let t ∈ [0, ε]. Then for anyi ∈ I we have:

y1(t) − xi1(t) = y01 +∫ t

(2.9)

since by choice of ε, ρ√ε < (1/2)(y0

1 − x′′1).

We now show that evasion is possible on (ε, ∞). If t ∈ (ε, ∞), then according to (2.7)for any i ∈ I we have:

y1(t) − xi1(t) = y01 +∫ t

(2.10)

Thus, evasion from the pursuers xi, i ∈ I, is possible. Similarly, according to (2.8) for anyj ∈ J we obtain that

y2(t) − xi2(t) ≥ y02 − x′′

2 −√ερ ≥ 1

(y02 − x′′

This completes the proof of the theorem.

Example 2.2. We consider two differential games of two pursuers and one evader describedby the equations

xi = ui, xi(0) = x0i ,

∫∞

0u2ij(s)ds ≤ ρ2ij , (2.12)

y = v, y(0) = y0,

∫∞

0v2j (s)ds ≤ σ2

j , i, j = 1, 2. (2.13)

(A) In the first differential game, ρ211 = 4, ρ212 = 1, ρ221 = 1, ρ222 = 4, σ21 = σ2

2 = 1, andhence the sets I = {2}, J = {1} satisfy the first hypothesis of the theorem. Initialpositions of the players x0

1, x02, and y0, where x0

1 /=y0, x02 /=y0, are assumed to be

any points in the plane. It is not difficult to verify that the second hypothesis of thetheorem holds, if x0

21 /=y01, and x0

12 /=y02 since x

′1 = x′′

1 = x021, x

′2 = x′′

2 = x012. Therefore,

for this case conclusion of the theorem is true and hence from such initial positionsevasion is possible. Note that the meaning of the condition x0

21 /=y01, x

012 /=y0

2 is thatthe initial position of the evader y0 doesn’t lie on the horizontal and vertical linespassing through the points x0

1 and x02, respectively.

We now construct the strategy for the evader, which guarantees the evasion. Letu1(t), u2(t), t ≥ 0 be any admissible controls of the pursuers. According to (2.3) and (2.4)the strategy of the evader takes the following form:

v1(t) =

{0, 0 ≤ t ≤ ε,

ξ|u21(t − ε)|, t > ε,v2(t) =

{0, 0 ≤ t ≤ ε,

η|u12(t − ε)|, t > ε,(2.14)

where

ξ =y01 − x0

21∣∣y01 − x0

21

∣∣ , η =y02 − x0

12∣∣y02 − x0

12

∣∣ . (2.15)

For this example, ρ = (ρ211 + ρ212 + ρ221 + ρ222)1/2 and ε satisfies the following conditions:

ε <14ρ2

min{(

y01 − x0

21

)2,(y02 − x0

12

)2}. (2.16)

According to the theorem if x021 /=y0

1 , x012 /=y0

2, then the strategy of the evader (2.14) guaranteesthe evasion.

However, the theorem gives no information if either x021 = y0

1 or x012 = y0

2 since thesecond hypothesis of the theorem is not satisfied for these cases. We’ll show that in each of

these cases pursuit can be completed in the game (2.12) and (2.13) (see Definitions 1.5 and1.6). In the case x0

21 = y01, define the strategies of the pursuers as follows:

u11(t) = 0, u12(t) = 0, t ≥ 0,

u21(t) = v1(t),(2.17)

u22(t) =

⎧⎨⎩

(y02 − x0

22

)+ v2(t), 0 ≤ t ≤ θ,

0, t > θ,(2.18)

where θ = |y02 − x0

22|2.

In the case x012 = y0

2, define the strategies of the pursuers as follows:

u21(t) = 0, u22(t) = 0, t ≥ 0,

u11(t) =

⎧⎨⎩

where θ1 = |y01 − x0

We consider the case x021 = y0

1. The case x012 = y0

2 can be analyzed in a similar fashion.Admissibility of the strategy (2.17) and (2.18) follows from the following relations:

Here, we used the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality. Next, we show that x2(θ) = y(θ), that is,pursuit will be completed by the pursuer x2 at the time θ. We have

x21(t) = x021 +∫ t

0u21(s)ds = y0

1 +∫ t

0v1(s)ds = y1(t) (2.21)

for all t ≥ 0. In particular, x21(θ) = y1(θ). In addition,

0v2(s)ds = y2(θ).

(2.22)

Hence, x22(θ) = y2(θ). Thus x2(θ) = y(θ).

(B) Consider an example of a differential game described by (2.12) and (2.13), for whichthe second hypothesis of the theorem is not satisfied. Let ρ211 = 2, ρ212 = 1, ρ221 =2, ρ222 = 1, σ2

1 = σ22 = 2, x0

1 = (0,−1), x02 = (0, 1), y0 = (0, a), where −1 < a < 1.

Let the strategies of the pursuers be defined by formulas

u11(t) = u21(t) = v1(t), u12(t) = 1, u22(t) = −1, t ≥ 0. (2.23)

We show that pursuit is completed by the time t = 1. Indeed, for all t ≥ 0 we have

xi1(t) = x0i1 +∫ t

0ui1(s)ds =

∫ t

0v1(s)ds = y1(t), i = 1, 2. (2.24)

What is left is to show that xi2(τ) = y2(τ) for some i ∈ {1, 2} and τ, 0 < τ ≤ 1.It follows from the relations

that one of the equalities x12(τ) = y(τ) or x22(τ) = y(τ) holds at some τ, 0 ≤ τ ≤ 1. Accordingto (2.24), xi1(τ) = y1(τ) and therefore one of the equalities x1(τ) = y(τ) or x2(τ) = y(τ) holdsand hence pursuit is completed at τ . Thus, if the initial position of the evader is in the linesegment (x0

1, x02) then pursuit can be completed by the time t = 1.

3. Conclusion

We have studied a simple motion evasion differential game with integral constraints oncontrol functions of the players. Unlike the traditional integral constraints, in the presentpaper the integral constraint is imposed on each component of control functions of theplayers. Under certain conditions, we have proven that the evasion is possible, that is, wehave obtained a sufficient condition of evasion. The problem is open for further investigationif the hypotheses of the theorem are not satisfied. Further studies can be done to obtaincomplete solution for the evasion problem (1.10)–(1.13).
