I want a very detailed explanation of how to solve this problem pleaseQuestion 1-Game theory
Imagine that, one of the friends wants to avoid the other. The problem PURSUIT-EVASION then becomes a two-player pursuit-evasion game. We assume now that the players take turns moving. The game ends only when the players are on the same node; the terminal payoff to the pursuer is minus the total time taken. (The evader "wins" by never losing.) as shown in Figure:
(a)
Figure 1: (a) A map where the cost of every edge is 1. Initially the pursuer P is at node b and the evader E is at node d.(b) A partial game tree for this map. Each node is labeled with the P,E positions. P moves first. Branches marked "?" have yet to be explored.
a. Copy the game tree and mark the values of the terminal nodes. (1 point)
b. Next to each internal node, write the strongest fact you can infer about its value (a number, one or more inequalities such as "14", or a "?").(1 point)
c. Beneath each question mark, write the name of the node reached by that branch. (1 point)
d. Explain how a bound on the value of the nodes in (c) can be derived from consideration of shortest-path lengths on the map, and derive such bounds for these nodes. Remember the cost to get to each leaf as well as the cost to solve it.(1 point)
e. Now suppose that the tree as given, with the leaf bounds from (d), is evaluated from left to right. Circle those "?" nodes that would not need to be expanded further, given the bounds from part (d), and cross out those that need not be considered at all. (1 point)
