A simple pursuit-evasion differential game of one pursuer and one evader is studied. The players' controls are subject to differential constraints in the form of the integral Grönwall inequality. The pursuit is considered completed if the state of the pursuer coincides with the state of the evader. The main goal of this work is to construct optimal strategies for the players and find the optimal pursuit time. A parallel approach strategy for Grönwall-type constraints is constructed and it is proved that it is the optimal strategy of the pursuer. In addition, the optimal strategy of the evader is constructed and the optimal pursuit time is obtained. The concept of a parallel pursuit strategy (\(\Pi\)-strategy for short) was introduced and used to solve the quality problem for "life-line" games by L.A.Petrosjan. This work develops and expands the works of Isaacs, Petrosjan, Pshenichnyi, and other researchers, including the authors.

AbstractObservations of artificial earth satellites provide a means of establishing an.origin, orientation, scale and control points for a coordinate system. Neither existing data nor future data are likely to provide significant information on the .001 angle between the axis of angular momentum and axis of rotation. Existing data have provided data to about .01 accuracy on the pole position and to possibly a meter on the origin of the system and for control points. The longitude origin is essentially arbitrary. While these accuracies permit acquisition of useful data on tides and polar motion through dynamio analyses, they are inadequate for determination of crustal motion or significant improvement in polar motion. The limitations arise from gravity, drag and radiation forces on the satellites as well as from instrument errors. Improvements in laser equipment and the launch of the dense LAGEOS satellite in an orbit high enough to suppress significant gravity and drag errors will permit determination of crustal motion and more accurate, higher frequency, polar motion. However, the reference frame for the results is likely to be an average reference frame defined by the observing stations, resulting in significant corrections to be determined for effects of changes in station configuration and data losses.
