Relative Value Iteration for Stochastic Differential Games
We study zero-sum stochastic differential games with player dynamics governed
by a nondegenerate controlled diffusion process. Under the assumption of
uniform stability, we establish the existence of a solution to the Isaac's
equation for the ergodic game and characterize the optimal stationary
strategies. The data is not assumed to be bounded, nor do we assume geometric
ergodicity. Thus our results extend previous work in the literature. We also
study a relative value iteration scheme that takes the form of a parabolic
Isaac's equation. Under the hypothesis of geometric ergodicity we show that the
relative value iteration converges to the elliptic Isaac's equation as time
goes to infinity. We use these results to establish convergence of the relative
value iteration for risk-sensitive control problems under an asymptotic
flatness assumption
