An infiltration game with time dependent payoff
Marlin U. Thomas, Yair Nisgav · Naval Research Logistics Quarterly · 1976
Abstract The problem of assigning patrol boats, subject to resource constraints, to capture or delay an infiltrator with perishable contraband attempting escape across a long, narrow strait is formulated as a two‐sided time sequential game. Optimal mixed strategies are derived for the situation of one patrol boat against one smuggler. Procedures for obtaining numerical solutions for R > 1 patrol boats are discussed.
