In this paper, we study an infinite horizon non-autonomous stochastic recursive differential game. To this end, we first establish well-posedness and stability results for BSDEs with a time-dependent discount factor and a possibly unbounded…

We study two-player reachability games on finite graphs. At each state the interaction between the players is concurrent and there is a stochastic Nature. Players also play stochastically. The literature tells us that 1) Player B, who wants…

We approximate the level set solution for the motion of an embedded closed curve in the plane with normal speed $\max(0, \kappa)^{\ga}$ where $\kappa$ is the curvature of the curve and $\frac{1}{3}<\ga<1$ by the value functions of a family…

In this paper, we deal with the solutions of systems of PDEs with bilateral inter-connected obstacles of min-max and max-min types. These systems arise naturally in stochastic switching zero-sum game problems. We show that when the…

We investigate zero-sum turn-based two-player stochastic games in which the objective of one player is to maximize the amount of rewards obtained during a play, while the other aims at minimizing it. We focus on games in which the minimizer…

We present a deterministic algorithm, solving discounted games with $n$ nodes in $n^{O(1)}\cdot (2 + \sqrt{2})^n$-time. For bipartite discounted games our algorithm runs in $n^{O(1)}\cdot 2^n$-time. Prior to our work no deterministic…

In this paper, we study a class of discrete-time mean-field games under the infinite-horizon risk-sensitive discounted-cost optimality criterion. Risk-sensitivity is introduced for each agent (player) via an exponential utility function. In…

This work considers two-player zero-sum semi-Markov games with incomplete information on one side and perfect observation. At the beginning, the system selects a game type according to a given probability distribution and informs to Player…

We extend the stochastic Perron method to analyze the framework of stochastic target games, in which one player tries to find a strategy such that the state process almost surely reaches a given target no matter which action is chosen by…

We study mean field games and corresponding $N$-player games in continuous time over a finite time horizon where the position of each agent belongs to a finite state space. As opposed to previous works on finite state mean field games, we…
