description

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.
