Abstract:
In the finite-dimensional Euclidean space, we consider the problem of persecution of one evader by the group of pursuers, which is described by the system $$D^{(\alpha)}z_i = a z_i + u_i - v,$$ where $D^{(\alpha)}f$ is the Caputo derivative of order $\alpha \in (0, 1)$ of the function $f$. It is further assumed that the evader does not leave the convex polyhedron with nonempty interior. The evader uses piecewise-program strategies, and the pursuers use piecewise-program counterstrategies. The set of admissible controls is a convex compact, the target sets are the origin of coordinates, and $a$ is a real number. In terms of the initial positions and the parameters of the game, sufficient conditions for the solvability of the pursuit problem are obtained.
