Task Assignment for Multiplayer Reach-Avoid Games in Convex Domains via Analytical Barriers
This work considers a multiplayer reach-avoid game between two adversarial
teams in a general convex domain which consists of a target region and a play
region. The evasion team, initially lying in the play region, aims to send as
many its team members into the target region as possible, while the pursuit
team with its team members initially distributed in both play region and target
region, strives to prevent that by capturing the evaders. We aim at
investigating a task assignment about the pursuer-evader matching, which can
maximize the number of the evaders who can be captured before reaching the
target region safely when both teams play optimally. To address this, two
winning regions for a group of pursuers to intercept an evader are determined
by constructing an analytical barrier which divides these two parts. Then, a
task assignment to guarantee the most evaders intercepted is provided by
solving a simplified 0-1 integer programming instead of a non-deterministic
polynomial problem, easing the computation burden dramatically. It is worth
noting that except the task assignment, the whole analysis is analytical.
Finally, simulation results are also presented
