Abstract
We use these barriers together with noncooperative zero-sum game theory to construct partial barriers. These are strategies for minimizing undetected intrusion when there is a limitation on available guard resources. We give equilibrium strategies for guards and intruder for the above three guard types in two dimensions. For variable-length sensors we derive strategies using barrier candidates. For fixed length guards we derive strategies using minimum fixed-length barriers, in conjunction with thick paths.
