A Numerical Analysis for Pursuit-Evasion Games under the Stackelberg Eqilibrium

This study presents a numerical analysis framework for pursuit–evasion differential games under the Stackelberg equilibrium. The Semi-DCNLP method is introduced as an optimization solver for flight path optimization problems formulated under the Stackelberg equilibrium. In a spacecraft pursuit-evasion differential game, the Semi-DCNLP method produces trajectories that closely match those obtained with a shooting method. This agreement supports the validity of the proposed approach.
