Dejan Milutinovic, professor of electrical and computer engineering at UC Santa Cruz, has long worked with colleagues on the complex subset of game theory called differential games.

The wall pursuit game is a relatively simple model for a situation in which a faster pursuer has the goal to catch a slower evader who is confined to moving along a wall.

Since this game was first described nearly 60 years ago, there has been a dilemma within the game where it was thought that no game optimal solution existed.

Milutinovic and his co-authors are interested in exploring other game theory problems with singular surfaces.

The paper is also an open call to the research community to similarly examine other dilemmas.

"Now the question is, what kind of other dilemas can we solve?" Milut in the paper is published by the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control.
