Abstract: We develop a heuristic approach, called ESP, that solves large pursuit-evasion problems on series-parallel (that is, treewidth-2) graphs quickly and with small costs. It exploits their topology by performing dynamic programming on their decomposition graphs. We show that ESP scales up to much larger graphs than a strawman approach based on previous results from the literature. Errata: We made an (almost unnoticeable) change to Figure 2 to reflect an update in the program code.
