Necessary and sufficient conditions for optimal search plans for moving targets

LD Stone - Mathematics of Operations Research, 1979 - pubsonline.informs.org
Let {X t, t≥ 0} be a stochastic process representing the motion of a target in Euclidean n-
space. Search effort is applied at the rate m (t)> 0 for 0≤ t≤ T, and it is assumed that this …

Optimal search for a moving target in discrete time and space

SS Brown - Operations research, 1980 - pubsonline.informs.org
We consider optimal search for a moving target in discrete space. A limited amount of search
effort is available at each of a fixed number of time intervals and we assume an exponential …

An upper bound useful in optimizing search for a moving target

AR Washburn - Operations Research, 1981 - pubsonline.informs.org
A feasible solution always establishes a lower bound on the maximum value of an objective
function. In the class of problems considered here, the objective function is detection …

A simple model of search for a moving target

SM Pollock - Operations Research, 1970 - pubsonline.informs.org
A target moves between two regions in a Markovian fashion, the parameters of which are
known to the searcher. Discrete amounts of search effort (“looks”) may be allocated to one …

On the optimal search for a target whose motion is conditionally deterministic with stochastic initial conditions on location and parameters

U Pursiheimo - SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 1977 - SIAM
A target moves in Euclidean n-space R^n according to some probabilistic law. A search
density, which accumulates on the target during its route, determines the probability of …

Search for targets with conditionally deterministic motion

LD Stone, HR Richardson - SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 1974 - SIAM
Optimal search for targets with conditionally deterministic motion is investigated. The target
motion takes place in Y, a copy of Euclidean n-space, and depends on a stochastic …

Optimal search for moving targets

LD Stone, JO Royset, AR Washburn - 2016 - Springer
This book begins with a review of basic results in optimal search for a stationary target. It
then develops the theory of optimal search for a moving target, providing algorithms for …

Optimal whereabouts search for a moving target

LD Stone, JB Kadane - Operations research, 1981 - pubsonline.informs.org
This paper shows that solving the optimal whereabouts search problem for a moving target
is equivalent to solving a finite number of optimal detection problems for moving targets. This …
