Abstract: This paper addresses a class of network games played by dynamic agents using their outputs. Unlike most existing related works, the Nash equilibrium in this work is defined by functions of agent outputs instead of full agent states, which allows the agents to have more general and heterogeneous dynamics and maintain some privacy of their local states. The concerned network game is formulated with agents modeled by uncertain linear systems subject to external disturbances. The cost function of each agent is a linear quadratic function depending on the outputs of its own and its neighbors in the underlying graph. The main challenge stemming from this game formulation is that merely driving the agent outputs to the Nash equilibrium does not guarantee the stability of the agent dynamics. Using local output and the outputs from the neighbors of each agent, we aim at designing game strategies that achieve output Nash equilibrium seeking and stabilization of the closed-loop dynamics. Particularly, when each agents knows how the actions of its neighbors affect its cost function, a game strategy is developed for network games with digraph topology. When each agent is also allowed to exchange part of its compensator state, a distributed strategy can be designed for networks with connected undirected graphs or connected digraphs.
