Differential Games with Information Time Lag: A Comparison of Strategies

Abstract

The report is a continuation of earlier studies in the development of the theory of differential games with information time lag (DGWITL). Pertinent aspects of the theory of differential games with information time lag are summarized. The generalized Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the linear regulator game is shown to have a sigma-parametric solution in the data-reference plane. The main effort in this report has been to provide examples which demonstrate both the applicability of the theory of DGWITL and the importance of information delay considerations in control law synthesis. Examples illustrate the performance degradation that can accompany a failure to compensate for information delay in differential games. At the same time, the quantitative effects displayed in the examples serve to motivate questions relevant to engineering tradeoffs between control law design and system design.
