This chapter focuses on the computation of the saddle-point equilibrium of a zero-sum discrete time dynamic game in a state-feedback policy. It begins by considering solution methods for two-player zero sum dynamic games in discrete time, assuming a finite horizon stage-additive cost that Player 1 wants to minimize and Player 2 wants to maximize, and taking into account a state feedback information structure. The discussion then turns to discrete time dynamic programming, the use of MATLAB to solve zero-sum games with finite state spaces and finite action spaces, and discrete time linear quadratic dynamic games. The chapter concludes with a practice exercise that requires computing the cost-to-go for each state of the tic-tac-toe game, and the corresponding solution.

The purpose of this paper is to study the existence of solutions of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation in a minimax discrete-time case and to show different characterizations for a real number called the critical value, which plays a central role in this work. We study the behavior of solutions of this problem using tools of game theory to obtain a “fixed point” of the Lax operator associated, considering some facts of weak KAM theory to interpret these solutions as discrete viscosity solutions. These solutions represent the optimal payoff of a zero-sum game of two players, with increasingly long time payoffs. The developed techniques allow us to study the behavior of an infinite time game without using discount factors or average actions.
