“…As the players' objectives imply, M-RA differential games have high relevance to the adversarial scenarios in which players compete or cooperate for a set of states in the game state space. For example, mobile ground vehicles can be employed to defend a building of interest so as to minimize some metric, such as the number of malicious vehicles entering the building (Fu and Liu, 2020;Shishika et al, 2021). In wildlife protection, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles against illegal poachers is a promising alternative to typical field methods.…”

“…This review is concerned with the M-RA differential games, with a particular interest in simple motions, which were first discussed by (Mitchell et al, 2005;Margellos and Lygeros, 2011;Zhou et al, 2012) and then extended into many variations and practical applications (Huang et al, 2014;Selvakumar and Bakolas, 2019;Fu and Liu, 2020). The problem is closely related to lifeline games (Garcia et al, 2019b;Yan et al, 2021a;Yan et al, 2021b;Chen and Yu, 2022), two-target differential games (Blaquière et al, 1969;Olsder and Breakwell, 1974;Pachter and Getz, 1980;Getz and Pachter, 1981) and target guarding differential games (Mohanan et al, 2018).…”

This paper reviews the recent works on multiplayer reach-avoid (M-RA) differential games between two adversarial teams in a game region which is split into a goal region and a play region. The pursuit team aims to protect the goal region from the evasion team by cooperatively capturing the evaders which start from the play region and strive to enter the goal region. We provide a selective overview of algorithms and theoretical results for multiplayer reach-avoid differential games. Specifically, we focus on point mass holonomic players that can move freely in the game region and have simple motions as Rufus Isaacs states. We describe how the challenges due to high-dimensional continuous joint action and state spaces, as well as complex cooperations and competitions among players, can be properly resolved by a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis of small-scale games and optimal task allocation. We finally point out the limitations of the current works and identify fruitful future research directions on theoretical studies of multiplayer reach-avoid differential games.
