Abstract

We consider a two-player nonzero-sum differential game in the case where players use nonanticipative strategies. We define the Nash equilibrium in this case and obtain a characterization of Nash equilibrium strategies. We show that a Nash equilibrium solution can be approximately realized by control-with-guide strategies.
