Lyapunov Functions in Differential Games
1st Edition
By Vladislav I Zhukovskiy
January 16, 2003
A major step in differential games is determining an explicit form of the strategies of players who follow a certain optimality principle. To do this, the associated modification of Bellman dynamic programming problems has to be solved; for some differential games this could be Lyapunov functions ...
