Approximation of value function of differential game with minimal cost

The paper is concerned with the approximation of the value function of the zero-sum differential game with the minimal cost, i.e., the differential game with the payoff functional determined by the minimization of some quantity along the trajectory by the solutions of continuous-time stochastic games with the stopping governed by one player. Notice that the value function of the auxiliary continuous-time stochastic game is described by the Isaacs–Bellman equation with additional inequality constraints. The Isaacs–Bellman equation is a parabolic PDE for the case of stochastic differential game and it takes a form of system of ODEs for the case of continuous-time Markov game. The approximation developed in the paper is based on the concept of the stochastic guide first proposed by Krasovskii and Kotelnikova.
