Escaping an Infinitude of Lions
Mikkel Abrahamsen, Jacob Holm, Eva Rotenberg, Christian Wulff-Nilsen

TL;DR
This paper proves that a man can evade an infinite number of lions in a plane if he runs slightly faster than them, regardless of how many lions there are.
Contribution
It establishes that survival is possible for a man running at speed just above that of lions against an infinite set.
Findings
Man can escape from countably infinite lions if his speed exceeds theirs by any positive amount.
The result holds for any positive epsilon, no matter how small.
The paper provides a strategy for the man's escape in this infinite setting.
Abstract
We consider the following game played in the Euclidean plane: There is any countable set of unit speed lions and one fast man who can run with speed for some value . Can the man survive? We answer the question in the affirmative for any .
