Pursuit-evasion is fascinating in both nature and artificial world. Typically, a pursuer runs faster than its targeted evader while with less agile maneuverability. Naturally, there is a wonder that how an evader escapes from a faster pursuer or how faster a pursuer is able to capture an agile evade...
