I originally tried to send this to Oleg personally, but his mailbox is full.
Is there a particular reference you would recommend regarding the mathematics and algorithms involved in modeling aerial pursuit curves? I'm interested in possibly applying these to the area of baseball fielding.
I imagine it's something like multi-state, e.g. "point and fly", "anticipate", "anticipation with crude adjustment increments". I hope this makes sense, I do not know this area at all.
