Abstract
We studymultipopulation game problems consisting of both interpopulation and intrapopulation strategic interactions. In the proposed model, the intrapopulation dynamics is given by a stochastic differential equation (SDE) and the strategic interaction occurs among agents who are homogeneous within the same population. A stochastic aggregative game takes place in the intrapopulation game problem. The interpopulation dynamics is given by the aggregative behavior of each population and an ordinary differential equation (ODE). The other strategic interaction occurs among different heterogeneous populations in either a noncooperative or cooperative way. In addition, the interaction for the different populations is performed in a distributed manner over a graph that might also be considered time-varying. We provideconditions to compute the solution by means of dynamic programming, and providesemi-explicit solutions for the linear-quadratic case by solving the emerging Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman partial differential equation (PDE) and postulating an appropriate ansatz for the value functional. A numerical example illustrates the presented results.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems is committed to the timely publication of high-impact papers at the intersection of control systems and network science. In particular, the journal addresses research on the analysis, design and implementation of networked control systems, as well as control over networks. Relevant work includes the full spectrum from basic research on control systems to the design of engineering solutions for automatic control of, and over, networks. The topics covered by this journal include: Coordinated control and estimation over networks, Control and computation over sensor networks, Control under communication constraints, Control and performance analysis issues that arise in the dynamics of networks used in application areas such as communications, computers, transportation, manufacturing, Web ranking and aggregation, social networks, biology, power systems, economics, Synchronization of activities across a controlled network, Stability analysis of controlled networks, Analysis of networks as hybrid dynamical systems.
