Abstract

The dynamic team problem for a linear system with Gaussian noise, exponential of a quadratic performance index, and one-step delayed sharing information pattern is considered. It is shown, via dynamic programming, that the multistage problem can be decomposed into a series of static team problems. Moreover, the optimal policy of the <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">i</tex> th team member at time <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">k</tex> is an affine function of both the one-step predicted Kalman filter estimate and the <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">i</tex> th team member's observation at time <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">k</tex> . Efficient algorithms are available for determining the gains of this affine controller. This model and solution are applied to an approximate resource allocation problem associated with a defense network, and a numerical example is discussed.
