In this paper, we study two-person nonzero-sum games for continuous-time Markov chains with discounted payoff criteria and Borel action spaces. The transition rates are possibly unbounded, and the payoff functions might have neither upper nor lower bounds. We give conditions that ensure the existence of Nash equilibria in stationary strategies. For the zero-sum case, we prove the existence of the value of the game, and also provide arecursiveway to compute it, or at least to approximate it. Our results are applied to a controlled queueing system. We also show that if the transition rates areuniformly bounded, then a continuous-time game is equivalent, in a suitable sense, to a discrete-time Markov game.

AbstractWe study zero-sum optimal stopping games (Dynkin games) between two players who disagree about the underlying model. In a Markovian setting, a verification result is established showing that if a pair of functions can be found that satisfies some natural conditions then a Nash equilibrium of stopping times is obtained, with the given functions as the corresponding value functions. In general, however, there is no uniqueness of Nash equilibria, and different equilibria give rise to different value functions. As an example, we provide a thorough study of the game version of the American call option under heterogeneous beliefs. Finally, we also study equilibria in randomized stopping times.
