The total curvature of a curve \(C\) in a domain of curvature bounded above is related to the circumradius and the asymptotic behavior of \(C\). The results are applied to pursuit-evasion games, where an evader moves in a domain and is followed by a pursuer along a pursuit curve. The results generalize known results because the domains are of arbitrary dimension and need not be smooth or locally Euclidean. So they may have applications in configuration spaces off physical systems and robotics.
