Existence theorems for games of survival (Q2265960)

A two-person, zero-sum differential game of survival with general type phase constraints is investigated. The dynamics of both players is governed by a system of differential inclusions. Player II can choose any strategy in the Varaiya-Lin sense, while player I can select any lower \(\Pi\)-strategy as introduced recently by the author [Syst. Control Lett. 1, 399-403 (1982; Zbl 0478.90094)]. The existence of a value and an optimal strategy for player II is proved under the assumptions that the set of all player II's trajectories is compact in the Banach space of all continuous mappings and that some capturability condition is fulfilled.
