Failures of safety-critical mission-based systems, such as aircraft and submarines, could
result in significant losses and damage. To enhance the survivability of such systems, their …

Search Theory is one of the original disciplines within the field of Operations Research. It
deals with the problem faced by a Searcher who wishes to minimize the time required to find …

This book is on applications of game theory. The title of this book is not" Game Theory and
its Applications" because it does not construct a general theory for considered games. The …

The search theory open literature has paid little, if any, attention to the multiple‐searcher,
moving‐target search problem. We develop an optimal branch‐and‐bound procedure and …

Infrastructure security against possible attacks involves making decisions under uncertainty.
This paper presents game theoretic models of the interaction between an adversary and a …

This book is unusual among books on game theory in considering only the special case
where there are exactly two players whose interests are completely opposed—the two …

The purpose of this paper is to review literature published to date on search games, almost
all of which have originated from search theory. Search theory itself is a research field of …

This paper presents a patrol problem, where a patroller traverses a graph through edges to
detect potential attacks at nodes. To design a patrol policy, the patroller needs to take into …

This paper studies several problems of search in the two-dimensional plane for mobile
intruders or evaders. In each case, both the searcher and evaders are assumed to have …

The optimal control of a UAV searching for a slower moving ground target on a road network
is considered. To aid the UAV, the road network has been instrumented with Unattended …
