چکیده

This paper studies two non-zero-sum stochastic differential games of control and stopping. One game has interaction in the players’ stopping rules, whereas the other does not. Solutions to backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) will be shown to provide the value processes of the first game. A multi-dimensional BSDE with reflecting barrier is studied in two cases for its solution: existence and uniqueness with Lipschitz growth, and existence in a Markovian system with linear growth rate. The extension to linear/quadratic growth rates of the equation allows the controls to observe the instantaneous volatilities of the value processes in the Markovian case.

Stochastic Differential Games and Viscosity Solutions of Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman--Isaacs Equations

In this paper we study zero-sum two-player stochastic differential games with the help of theory of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (BSDEs). At the one hand we generalize the results of the pioneer work of Fleming and Souganidis [8] by considering cost functionals defined by controlled BSDEs and by allowing the admissible control processes to depend on events occurring before the beg...

Stochastic Games of Control and Stopping for a Linear Diffusion

We study three stochastic differential games. In each game, two players control a process X = {Xt , 0 ≤ t < ∞} which takes values in the interval I = (0, 1), is absorbed at the endpoints of I, and satisfies a stochastic differential equation dXt = μ ( Xt, α(Xt), β(Xt) ) dt + σ ( Xt, α(Xt), β(Xt) ) dWt , X0 = x ∈ I . The control functions α(·) and β(·) are chosen by players A and B, respectively...

Forward-backward SDE games and stochastic control under model uncertainty

We study optimal stochastic control problems under model uncertainty. We rewrite such problems as (zero-sum) stochastic differential games of forward-backward stochastic differential equations. We prove general stochastic maximum principles for such games, both in the zero-sum case (finding conditions for saddle points) and for the non-zero sum games (finding conditions for Nash equilibria). We...

A Maximum Principle for Stochastic Differential Games with g–expectations and partial information

In this paper, we initiate a study on optimal control problem for stochastic differential games under generalized expectation via backward stochastic differential equations and partial information. We first prove a sufficient maximum principle for zero-sum stochastic differential game problem. And then extend our approach to general stochastic differential games (nonzero–sum games), and obtain ...

Two Player Non Zero-sum Stopping Games in Discrete Time

We prove that every two player non zero-sum stopping game in discrete time admits an -equilibrium in randomized strategies, for every > 0. We use a stochastic variation of Ramsey Theorem, which enables us to reduce the problem to that of studying properties of -equilibria in a simple class of stochastic games with finite state space.
