✦ Synopsis

A pursuer ( P ) pursues an evader ( E ) , with each party choosing a speed in ignorance of the other's choice. Going extremely fast is not wise for either party because doing so would quickly exhaust available energy. The situation is modeled as a two-person zero-sum game. The game may or may not have a saddle point, depending on the energy ratio and tactical parameters.
