A similar representation as a control problem over discontinuous martingales was known for games with incomplete information on one side (see Cardaliaguet-Rainer [8]), and our result is a continuous-time analog of the so called splitting-game introduced in Laraki [20] and Sorin [27] in order to analyze discrete-time models. It was proved by Cardaliaguet [4, 5] that the value of the games we consider is the unique solution of some Hamilton-Jacobi equation with convexity constraints. Our result provides therefore a new probabilistic representation for solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations with convexity constraints as values of stochastic differential games with unbounded control spaces and unbounded volatility.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-02-19T13:16:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "zero-sum differential games", "incomplete information", "probabilistic representation", "zero-sum stochastic differential game", "hamilton-jacobi equation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
