Some recent aspects of differential game theory. (English) Zbl 1214.91013

Summary: This survey paper presents some new advances in theoretical aspects of differential game theory. We particular focus on three topics: differential games with state constraints; backward stochastic differential equations approach to stochastic differential games; differential games with incomplete information. We also address some recent development in nonzero-sum differential games (analysis of systems of Hamilton-Jacobi equations by conservation laws methods; differential games with a large number of players, i.e., mean-field games) and long-time average of zero-sum differential games.
