Abstract
In this note, we investigate the solution of a disturbed quadratic open loop (OL) Nash game, whose underlying system is an affine differential equation and with a finite time horizon. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence/uniqueness of the Nash/worst-case equilibrium. The solution is obtained either via solving initial/terminal value problems (IVP/TVP, respectively) in terms of Riccati differential equations or solving an associated boundary value problem (BVP). The motivation for studying the case of the affine dynamics comes from practical applications, namely the optimization of gas networks. As an illustration, we applied the results obtained to a scalar problem and compare the numerical effectiveness between the proposed approach and an usual Scilab BVP solver.
