Weak infinitesimal operators and stochastic differential games.

Ramón Ardanuy, A. Alcalá (1992)

Stochastica

Similarity:

This article considers the problem of finding the optimal strategies in stochastic differential games with two players, using the weak infinitesimal operator of process xi the solution of d(xi) = f(xi,t,u,u)dt + sigma(xi,t,u,u)dW. For two-person zero-sum stochastic games we formulate the minimax solution; analogously, we perform the solution for coordination and non-cooperative stochastic differential games.

A note on 'Big Match'

Jean-Michel Coulomb (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

We present a very simple proof of the existence of the value for 'Big Match' first shown by Blackwell and Ferguson (1968).

Differential games of partial information forward-backward doubly SDE and applications

Eddie C. M. Hui, Hua Xiao (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper addresses a new differential game problem with forward-backward doubly stochastic differential equations. There are two distinguishing features. One is that our game systems are initial coupled, rather than terminal coupled. The other is that the admissible control is required to be adapted to a subset of the information generated by the underlying Brownian motions. We establish a necessary condition and a sufficient condition for an equilibrium point of nonzero-sum games...

On approximations of nonzero-sum uniformly continuous ergodic stochastic games

Andrzej Nowak (1999)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider a class of uniformly ergodic nonzero-sum stochastic games with the expected average payoff criterion, a separable metric state space and compact metric action spaces. We assume that the payoff and transition probability functions are uniformly continuous. Our aim is to prove the existence of stationary ε-equilibria for that class of ergodic stochastic games. This theorem extends to a much wider class of stochastic games a result proven recently by Bielecki [2].

Existence of Nash equilibria in two-person stochastic games of resource extraction

P. Szajowski (2006)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

This paper deals with two-person stochastic games of resource extraction under both the discounted and the mean payoff criterion. Under some concavity and additivity assumptions concerning the payoff and the transition probability function a stationary Nash equilibrium is shown to exist. The proof is based on Schauder-Tychonoff's fixed point theorem, applied to a suitable payoff vector space.

Nash equilibrium payoffs for stochastic differential games with reflection

Qian Lin (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper, we investigate Nash equilibrium payoffs for nonzero-sum stochastic differential games with reflection. We obtain an existence theorem and a characterization theorem of Nash equilibrium payoffs for nonzero-sum stochastic differential games with nonlinear cost functionals defined by doubly controlled reflected backward stochastic differential equations.

Stochastic differential games involving impulse controls

Feng Zhang (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

A zero-sum stochastic differential game problem on infinite horizon with continuous and impulse controls is studied. We obtain the existence of the value of the game and characterize it as the unique viscosity solution of the associated system of quasi-variational inequalities. We also obtain a verification theorem which provides an optimal strategy of the game.

Z -equilibria in many-player stochastic differential games

Svatoslav Gaidov (1993)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

In this paper N -person nonzero-sum games are considered. The dynamics is described by Ito stochastic differential equations. The cost-functions are conditional expectations of functionals of Bolza type with respect to the initial situation. The notion of Z -equilibrium is introduced in many-player stochastic differential games. Some properties of Z -equilibria are analyzed. Sufficient conditions are established guaranteeing the Z -equilibrium for the strategies of the players. In a particular...

Stochastic stability in spatial games

Jacek Miękisz (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We compare two concepts of stochastic stability in spatial games. The classical approach to stochastic stability, introduced by Foster and Young [8], involves single configurations in the zero-noise limit. Ensemble stability discussed in [17] refers to ensembles of configurations in the limit of an infinite number of players. The above two limits may not commute. We will discuss reasons of such behaviour. We review some results concerning the effect of the number of players and the noise...
