Abstract

We investigate a class of zero-sum linear-quadratic stochastic differential games on a finite time horizon governed by multiscale state equations. The multiscale nature of the problem can be leveraged to reformulate the associated generalised Riccati equation as a deterministic singular perturbation problem. In doing so, we show that, for small enough ϵ\epsilon, the existence of solution to the associated generalised Riccati equation is guaranteed by the existence of a solution to a decoupled pair of differential and algebraic Riccati equations with a reduced order of dimensionality. Furthermore, we are able to formulate a pair of asymptotic estimates to the value function of the game problem by constructing an approximate feedback strategy and observing the limiting value function.
