Cooperative differential games with the utility function switched at a random time moment

Abstract

This paper describes a differential game of $n$ persons in which the utility functions of the players have a hybrid form, namely, they are changed at a random moment in time. With the help of integration in parts, the form of the payoff functional is simplified. For the cooperative scenario the problem of time-consistency of the optimality principle chosen by the players is studied and a solution is proposed in the form of an adapted imputation distribution procedure. The differential investment game is considered as an example.
