Soft-constrained stochastic Nash games for weakly coupled large-scale systems

In this paper, we discuss infinite-horizon soft-constrained stochastic Nash games involving state-dependent noise in weakly coupled large-scale systems. First, we formulate linear quadratic differential games in which robustness is attained against model uncertainty. It is noteworthy that this is the first time conditions for the existence of robust equilibria have been derived based on the solutions of sets of cross-coupled stochastic algebraic Riccati equations (CSAREs). After establishing an asymptotic structure with positive definiteness for CSAREs solutions, we derive a recursive algorithm by means of Newton’s method so that it can be used to obtain solutions for CSAREs. As another important feature, we propose a high-order approximate Nash strategy based on iterative solutions. Finally, we provide a numerical example to verify the efficiency of the proposed algorithms.
