Abstract

In this paper, we review some basic results on linear quadratic differential games. We consider both the cooperative and non-cooperative case. For the non-cooperative game we consider the open-loop and (linear) feedback information structure. Furthermore, the effect of adding uncertainty is considered. The overview is based on [9]. Readers interested in detailed proofs and additional results are referred to this book.
