Abstract: A target is assumed to move in the plane according to a two-dimensional independent Brownian motion. The searcher moves along parabolic spiral curve. The purpose of this paper is to find the conditions under which the expected value of the first meeting time of the searcher and the target is finite.

Keywords: parabolic spiral search path; curvature of the search path; torsion of the search path; Brownian motion; uniformly integrable. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
