Formal solutions for a class of stochastic pursuit-evasion games

A class of differential pursuit-evasion games is examined in which the dynamics are linear and perturbed by additive white Gaussian noise, the performance index is quadratic, and both players receive measurements perturbed independently by additive white Gaussian noise. Linear minimax solutions are characterized in terms of a set of implicit integro-differential equations. A game of this type also possesses a "certainty-coincidence" property, meaning that its minimax behavior coincides with that of the corresponding deterministic game in the event that all noise values are zero. This property is used to decompose the minimax strategies into sums of a certainty-equivalent term and error terms.
