On the Distribution of the Lead in a Chase.
Abstract
In a recent series of tactical studies a problem arose which can be described in the following terms. A runner P moves with constant speed along a straight line. At negative, exponentially-distributed time intervals the position of P is communicated to a second runner S who then tries to reach that position. Interest centres on the lead that P has over S at the instants when information is given to S. This memorandum is devoted to the derivation of the probability distribution of the lead. Some numerical tables are appended. (Author)
