This volume of the Annals of Dynamic Games is dedicated to the memory of Arik Artavazdovich Melikyan

Foreword

While these Annals were in preparation, on April 6th, 2009 in Moscow, Arik Artavazdovich Melikyan left us. An outstanding mathematician, member of the International Society of Dynamic Games and best friend, he has very unexpectedly left us in a deep mourning. His basic contribution to the theory of pursuit and evasion games lies in new approaches for finding the solutions of Bellman–Isaacs equations and constructing new singular surfaces. His scientific achievements were highly regarded in Russia, which he always considered as his motherland, and where he was elected a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In his second mother country, Armenia, he was also a foreign member of the National Academy of Sciences. He was a good friend, an optimistic and cheerful person, and as such he will remain in our thoughts. St. Petersb
