Abstract

We consider linear search for an escaping target whose speed and initial position are unknown to the searcher. A searcher (an autonomous mobile agent) is initially placed at the origin of the real line and can move with maximum speed $1$ in either direction along the line. An oblivious mobile target that is moving away from the origin with an unknown constant speed $v
