  • Abstract
    The notion of target function is presented, and is applied to problems of pursuit with linear dynamics. It is shown that this approach unifies and extends the work of Pontryagin, Pshenichnyi, and many others. The approach is geometric in nature, and its application relies heavily on the geometric difference of convex sets and support functions of convex sets.
