Solution of coupled riccati equations occurring in nash games
To obtain the open-loop Nash strategy for a linear-quadratic differential game, a set of coupled matrix Riccati equations has to be solved. It is shown that by means of algebraic transformations, the original problem can be reduced to another one to which the successive approximation method is applicable. This leads to a simple iterative algorithm with a predetermined approximation error. An example is given to illustrate the proposed method.
Explicit solutions for a system of coupled Lyapunov differential matrix equations
This paper is concerned with the problem of obtaining explicit expressions of solutions of a system of coupled Lyapunov matrix differential equations of the typewhere Fi, Ai(t), Bi(t), Ci(t) and Dij(t) are m×m complex matrices (members of ℂm×m), for 1≦i, j≦N, and t in the interval [a,b]. When the coefficient matrices of (1.1) are timeinvariant, Dij are scalar multiples of the identity matrix of the type Dij=dijI, where dij are real positive numbers, for 1≦i, j≦N Ci, is the transposed matrix of Bi and Fi = 0, for 1≦i≦N, the Cauchy problem (1.1) arises in control theory of continuous-time jump linear quadratic systems [9–11]. Algorithms for solving the above particular case can be found in [1…
