Abstract

We consider dynamical systems subject to control by two agents, one of whom desires that no trajectory of the system, emanating from outside a given set, intersects the set, no matter what the admissible actions of the other agent. Conditions are given whose satisfaction assures that a given control results in avoidance. Furthermore, these conditions are constructive in that they yield an avoidance feedback control. Some examples are presented.
