ARDANUY Univeridad de Salamanca SUMMARY. hi paper conider the problem of finding optimal trategie, with two player, baed on linear tochatic differential ytem dξ =(Aξ +B 1 u 1 +B 2 )dt+σdw. Uing a minimax principle we found that the feedback optimal trategie are linear in the tate of the ytem and may be calculated by olving a Ricatti matrix differential equation. We alo formulate a eparation principle that relate the olution in the determinitic cae with the olution in the tochatic cae, a in a linear tochatic control problem. 1.

tochatic differential game 165 heorem 1: o olve the linear-quadratic tochatic game, it uffice to olve the correponding linear-quadratic determinitic game (σ = 0); when thi i done, the optimal feedback trategie are linear and in both cae coincide, wherea the value of the game will be given by: τ V (x, ) tochatic = V (x, ) determinitic + tr [P (t)a(t)]dt Regarding the numerical technique to olve the Ricatti equation, among other the following are of particular interet: i) Method of direct integration: the implet of thee i the Euler method. However, owing to numerical error, the value of P (t) i detroyed, uch that it i appropriate to ymmetrize at each point; i.e. ubtitute the P calculated by (P + P )/2. Alternatively, it i poible to take advantage of the ymmetry of P to reduce the matrix equation (22) to a ytem of n(n +1)/2 differential equation of firt order, which coniderably reduce computation time. A lengthy dicuion of thi method of direct integration can be found in Bucy and Joeph (1968). ii) he Kalman-Englar Method, thi i uually applied to time-invariant Ricatti equation (ee, for example, Kalman and Englar (1966), Vaughan (1966), etc.).
