What Do You Know About The Homicidal Chauffeur Problem?
In the category of Pursuit-evasion problems is the homicidal chauffeur problem, which puts a theoretical runner in opposition to a theoretical driver trying to race him down while they both never get tire. The slow-moving runner is very mobile while the fast driver is directly opposite. The problem is technical but straightforward; how would either one win in his respective pursuit?
