“…Furthermore, interesting search strategies that give the minimum expected value of the cost of detecting the lost target have been studied. In the case of a randomly located target, many authors, such as El-Hadidy et al [5,6,12,13,38,39] discussed this problem in the plane when the located target has symmetric and asymmetric distributions and with less information available to the searchers. In these papers, the authors desired to minimize the expected time for detecting the target.…”
