Abstract

Decision-making under uncertainty has recently received an increasing amount of interest in the context of dynamical games. Here we study a discrete dynamical game on an infinite-time horizon. This game is used for modelling optimal control problems in the presence of unknown disturbances. The main result provides a necessary condition of Pontryagin’s maximum principle type. The presented example illustrates the possible practical applications.
