چکیده

In this paper we study a two person zero sum stochastic differential game in weak formulation. Unlike the standard literature, which uses strategy type controls, the weak formulation allows us to consider the game with control against control. We shall prove the existence of game value under natural conditions. Another main feature of the paper is that we allow for non-Markovian structure, and thus the game value is a random process. We characterize the value process as the unique viscosity solution of the corresponding path dependent Bellman–Isaacs equation, a notion recently introduced by Ekren et al. [Ann. Probab., 42 (2014), pp. 204–236] and Ekren, Touzi, and Zhang [Stochastic Process., to appear; preprint, arXiv:1210.0006v2; preprint, arXiv:1210.0007v2].

On Differential Games for Infinite-dimensional Systems with Nonlinear, Unbounded Operators

We consider a two-player, zero-sum diierential game governed by an abstract nonlinear diierential equation of accretive type in an innnite dimensional space. We prove that the value function of the game is the unique viscosity solution of the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equation in the sense of Crandall-Lions 12]. We also discuss some properties of this notion of solution.

Hamilton-Jacobi Equations and Two-Person Zero-Sum Differential Games with Unbounded Controls

A two-person zero-sum differential game with unbounded controls is considered. Under proper coer-civity conditions, the upper and lower value functions are characterized as the unique viscosity solutions to the corresponding upper and lower Hamilton–Jacobi–Isaacs equations, respectively. Consequently, when the Isaacs' condition is satisfied, the upper and lower value functions coincide, leading...

A TRANSITION FROM TWO-PERSON ZERO-SUM GAMES TO COOPERATIVE GAMES WITH FUZZY PAYOFFS

In this paper, we deal with games with fuzzy payoffs. We proved that players who are playing a zero-sum game with fuzzy payoffs against Nature are able to increase their joint payoff, and hence their individual payoffs by cooperating. It is shown that, a cooperative game with the fuzzy characteristic function can be constructed via the optimal game values of the zero-sum games with fuzzy payoff...

Probabilistic Interpretation for Systems of Isaacs Equations with Two Reflecting Barriers

In this paper we investigate zero-sum two-player stochastic differential games whose cost functionals are given by doubly controlled reflected backward stochastic differential equations (RBSDEs) with two barriers. For admissible controls which can depend on the whole past and so include, in particular, information occurring before the beginning of the game, the games are interpreted as games of...

Multiple attribute decision making with triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers based on zero-sum game approach

For many decision problems with uncertainty, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number is a useful tool in expressing ill-known quantities. This paper develops a novel decision method based on zero-sum game for multiple attribute decision making problems where the attribute values take the form of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the attribute weights are unknown. First, a new value ind...
