We consider interior H\"{o}lder regularity of the spatial gradient of viscosity solutions to the normalized $p(x,t)$-Laplace equation $$ u_t=\left(\delta_{ij}+(p(x,t)-2)\frac{u_i u_j}{|Du|^2}\right)u_{ij} $$ with some suitable assumptions…

This paper investigates value function approximation in the context of zero-sum Markov games, which can be viewed as a generalization of the Markov decision process (MDP) framework to the two-agent case. We generalize error bounds from MDPs…

An algorithm is proposed to verify whether a finite game is a weighted potential game (WPG) without pre-knowledge on its weights. Then the algorithm is also applied to find the closest WPG for a given finite game. The concept and criterion…

The Dominative $p$-Laplacian is the operator defined for $2\le p < \infty$ as follows: \begin{equation}\label{dominativep} \mathcal{L}_{p}u(x)=\frac{1}{p}\left(\lambda_{1}+\ldots+\lambda_{N-1}\right)+\frac{(p-1)}{p}\lambda_{N},…

We study Nash equilibria learning of a general-sum stochastic game with an unknown transition probability density function. Agents take actions at the current environment state and their joint action influences the transition of the…

Zero-sum stochastic games generalize the notion of Markov Decision Processes (i.e. controlled Markov chains, or stochastic dynamic programming) to the 2-player competitive case : two players jointly control the evolution of a state…

In this paper we study zero-sum two-player stochastic differential games with the help of theory of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (BSDEs). At the one hand we generalize the results of the pioneer work of Fleming and Souganidis…

A game has approximate equilibria if for every $\epsilon >0$ there is an $\epsilon$-equilibrium. We show that there is a stochastic game that lacks approximate equilibria. This game has finitely many players and actions, their payoffs are…

This paper considers a time-varying game with $N$ players. Every time slot, players observe their own random events and then take a control action. The events and control actions affect the individual utilities earned by each player. The…

In two-player zero-sum stochastic games, where two competing players make decisions under uncertainty, a pair of optimal strategies is traditionally described by Nash equilibrium and computed under the assumption that the players have…

Simple stochastic games are turn-based 2.5-player games with a reachability objective. The basic question asks whether one player can ensure reaching a given target with at least a given probability. A natural extension is games with a…

We prove interior H\"older estimates for the spatial gradient of viscosity solutions to the parabolic homogeneous $p$-Laplacian equation \[ u_t=|\nabla u|^{2-p} \mbox{ div} (|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u), \] where $1<p<\infty$. This equation…

We study the p-Laplace equation in the plane and prove that the mean value property holds directly for the solutions themselves. This removes the need to interpret the formula in the viscosity sense via test functions. The method is based…
