Abstract
The Minkowski operators are considered, which extend the concepts of the Minkowski sum and difference to the case where one of the summands depends on an element of the other term. The properties of these operators are examined. Convolution methods of computer geometry and algorithms for computing the values of the Minkowski operators are developed. These algorithms are used to construct epsilon-optimal control strategies in a nonlinear differential game with a nonconvex target set. The errors of the proposed algorithms are estimated in detail. Numerical results for the conflicting control of a nonlinear pendulum are presented.
