Pursuit-Evasion Games with Impulsive Dynamics

  • Chapter
Advances in Dynamic Game Theory

Abstract

In this chapter, we investigate a two-player zero-sum game with separated impulsive dynamics. We study both qualitative and quantitative games. For the qualitative games, we provide a geometrical characterization of the victory domains. For the quantitative games, we characterize the value functions using the Isaacs partial differential inequalities. As a by-product, we obtain a new result of existence of a value for impulsive differential games. The main tool of our approach is the notion of impulse discriminating domain, which is introduced and discussed extensively here.
