Extract

Consider a differential game of survival governed by the differential equation

in , with pay-off

where tF is the entry time of the trajectory (t, x(t)) into a given terminal set F. Under suitable conditions on f, g, h and the terminal set F, it was shown in (3) that the question of existence of value of such a game can be approached by considering a certain pair of partial differential equations called the Isaacs-Bellman equations.
