An infiltration game with time dependent payoff

Naval Research Logistics Quarterly, 1976, vol. 23, issue 2, 297-302

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.
