Abstract

In this article we address the problem of finding feedback Nash equilibria for linear quadratic differential games defined on descriptor systems. First, we decouple the dynamic and algebraic parts of a descriptor system using canonical projectors. We discuss the effects of feedback on the behavior of the descriptor system. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the feedback Nash equilibria for index 1 descriptor systems and show that there exist many informationally non-unique equilibria corresponding to a single solution of the game. Further, for descriptor systems with index greater than 1, we give a regularization based approach and discuss the associated drawbacks.
