✦ Synopsis

The game-theoretic pt~rsuit--evasion problem of one pursuer and two evaders is considered. It is assumed that one of the evaders must leave the game (disappear) at some time; however, neitber this time nor the leaving evader is Imown in advance. The dynamim of all the objects can be described by the equations of the weft-known I~_acs__ problem of the "game of two cars" [1] subject to conditions of restricted manoeuvrability of the objects. The minimum time difference between the pursuer and the evader remaining in the game is the payoff of the ~ame. Under certain assumptions, relating the parameters of the objects and their initial positions, the optimal position strategies for the pursuer and two evaders are constructed. The formal description of the problem follows that ccpnsidered in [2]. The approach proposed in [3] is developed. Similar problems were considered in [10][11][12][13][14][15][16].
