    Time inconsistency in dynamic decision making is often observed in social systems and daily life. Motivated by practical applications, especially in mathematical economics and finance, time-inconsistency control problems have recently attracted considerable research interest and efforts attempting to seek equilibrium, instead of optimal controls. At a conceptual level, the idea is that a decision made by the controller at every instant of time is considered as a game against all the decisions made by the future incarnations of the controller. An "equilibrium" control is therefore one such that any deviation from it at any time instant will be worse off. The study on time inconsistency by economists can be dated back to Stroz [1] and Phelps [2,3] in models with discrete time (see [4] and [5] for further developments), and adapted by Karp [6,7], and by Ekeland and Lazrak [8,9,10,11,12,13] to the case of continuous time. In the LQ control problems, Yong [14] studied a time-inconsistent deterministic model and derived equilibrium controls via some integral equations.

    It is natural to study time inconsistency in the stochastic models. Ekeland and Pirvu [15] studied the non-exponential discounting which leads to time inconsistency in an agent's investment-consumption policies in a Merton model. Grenadier and Wang [16] also studied the hyperbolic discounting problem in an optimal stopping model. In a Markovian systems, Björk and Murgoci [17] proposed a definition of a general stochastic control problem with time inconsistent terms, and proposed some sufficient condition for a control to be solution by a system of integro-differential equations. They constructed some solutions for some examples including an LQ one, but it looks very hard to find not-to-harsh condition on parameters to ensure the existence of a solution. Björk, Murgoci and Zhou [18] also constructed an equilibrium for a mean-variance portfolio selection with state-dependent risk aversion. Basak and Chabakauri [19] studied the mean-variance portfolio selection problem and got more details on the constructed solution. Hu, Jin and Zhou [20,21] studied the general LQ control problem with time inconsistent terms in a non-Markovian system and constructed an unique equilibrium for quite general LQ control problem, including a non-Markovian system.

    To the best of our knowledge, most of the time-inconsistent problems are associated with the control problems though we use the game formulation to define its equilibrium. In the problems of game theory, the literatures about time inconsistency is little [22,23]. However, the definitions of equilibrium strategies in the above two papers are based on some corresponding control problems like before. In this paper, we formulate a general stochastic LQ differential game, where the objective functional of each player include both a quadratic term of the expected state and a state-dependent term. These non-standard terms each introduces time inconsistency into the problem in somewhat different ways. We define our equilibrium via open-loop controls. Then we derive a general sufficient condition for equilibrium strategies through a system of forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs). An intriguing feature of these FBSDEs is that a time parameter is involved; so these form a flow of FBSDEs. When the state process is scalar valued and all the coefficients are deterministic functions of time, we are able to reduce this flow of FBSDEs into several Riccati-like ODEs. Comparing to the ODEs in [20], though the state process is scalar valued, the unknowns are matrix-valued because of two players. Therefore, such ODEs are harder to solve than those of [20]. Under some more stronger conditions, we obtain explicitly an equilibrium strategy, which turns out to be a linear feedback. We also prove that the equilibrium strategy we obtained is unique.

    The rest of the paper is organized as follows. The next section is devoted to the formulation of our problem and the definition of equilibrium strategy. In Section 3, we apply the spike variation technique to derive a flow of FBSEDs and a sufficient condition of equilibrium strategies. Based on this general results, we solve in Section 4 the case when the state is one dimensional and all the coefficients are deterministic. The uniqueness of such equilibrium strategy is also proved in this section.

    Let T>0 be the end of a finite time horizon, and let (Wt)0tT=(W1t,...,Wdt)0tT be a d-dimensional Brownian motion on a probability space (Ω,F,P). Denote by (Ft) the augmented filtration generated by (Wt).

    Let Sn be the set of symmetric n×n real matrices; L2F(Ω,Rl) be the set of square-integrable random variables; L2F(t,T;Rn) be the set of {Fs}s[t,T]-adapted square-integrable processes; and L2F(Ω;C(t,T;Rn)) be the set of continuous {Fs}s[t,T]-adapted square-integrable processes.

    We consider a continuous-time, n-dimensional nonhomogeneous linear controlled system:

    dXs=[AsXs+B1,su1,s+B2,su2,s+bs]ds+dj=1[CjsXs+Dj1,su1,s+Dj2,su2,s+σjs]dWjs,X0=x0. (2.1)

    Here A is a bounded deterministic function on [0,T] with value in Rn×n. The other parameters B1,B2,C,D1,D2 are all essentially bounded adapted processes on [0,T] with values in Rl×n,Rl×n,Rn×n,Rn×l,Rn×l, respectively; b and σj are stochastic processes in L2F(0,T;Rn). The processes uiL2F(0,T;Rl), i=1,2 are the controls, and X is the state process valued in Rn. Finally, x0Rn is the initial state. It is obvious that for any controls uiL2F(0,T;Rl), i=1,2, there exists a unique solution XL2F(Ω,C(0,T;Rn)).

    As time evolves, we need to consider the controlled system starting from time t[0,T] and state xtL2Ft(Ω;Rn):

    dXs=[AsXs+B1,su1,s+B2,su2,s+bs]ds+dj=1[CjsXs+Dj1,su1,s+Dj2,su2,s+σjs]dWjs,Xt=xt. (2.2)

    For any controls uiL2F(0,T;Rl), i=1,2, there exists a unique solution Xt,xt,u1,u2L2F(Ω,C(0,T;Rn)).

    We consider a two-person differential game problem. At any time t with the system state Xt=xt, the i-th (i=1,2) person's aim is to minimize her cost (if maximize, we can times the following function by 1):

    Ji(t,xt;u1,u2)=12EtTt[Qi,sXs,Xs+Ri,sui,s,ui,s]ds+12Et[GiXT,XT]12hiEt[XT],Et[XT]λixt+μi,Et[XT] (2.3)

    over u1,u2L2F(t,T;Rl), where X=Xt,xt,u1,u2, and Et[]=E[|Ft]. Here, for i=1,2, Qi and Ri are both given essentially bounded adapted process on [0,T] with values in Sn and Sl, respectively, Gi,hi,λi,μi are all constants in Sn, Sn, Rn×n and Rn, respectively. Furthermore, we assume that Qi,Ri are non-negative definite almost surely and Gi are non-negative definite.

    Given a control pair (u1,u2). For any t[0,T),ϵ>0, and v1,v2L2Ft(Ω,Rl), define

    ut,ϵ,vii,s=ui,s+vi1s[t,t+ϵ),s[t,T], i=1,2. (2.4)

    Because each person at time t>0 wants to minimize his/her cost as we claimed before, we have

    Definition 2.1. Let (u1,u2)L2F(0,T;Rl)×L2F(0,T;Rl) be a given strategy pair, and let X be the state process corresponding to (u1,u2). The strategy pair (u1,u2) is called an equilibrium if

    limϵ0J1(t,Xt;ut,ϵ,v11,u2)J1(t,Xt;u1,u2)ϵ0, (2.5)
    limϵ0J2(t,Xt;u1,ut,ϵ,v22)J2(t,Xt;u1,u2)ϵ0, (2.6)

    where ut,ϵ,vii,i=1,2 are defined by (2.4), for any t[0,T) and v1,v2L2Ft(Ω,Rl).

    Remark. The above definition means that, in each time t, the equilibrium is a static Nash equilibrium in a corresponding game.

    Let (u1,u2) be a fixed strategy pair, and let X be the corresponding state process. For any t[0,T), as a similar arguments of Theorem 5.1 in pp. 309 of [24], defined in the time interval [t,T], there exist adapted processes (pi(;t),(kji(;t)j=1,2,...,d))L2F(t,T;Rn)×(L2F(t,T;Rn))d and (Pi(;t),(Kji(;t)j=1,2,...,d))L2F(t,T;Sn)×(L2F(t,T;Sn))d for i=1,2 satisfying the following equations:

    {dpi(s;t)=[Aspi(s;t)+dj=1(Cjs)kji(s;t)+Qi,sXs]ds+dj=1kji(s;t)dWjs,s[t,T],pi(T;t)=GiXThiEt[XT]λiXtμi, (3.1)
    {dPi(s;t)={AsPi(s;t)+Pi(s;t)As+Qi,s+dj=1[(Cjs)Pi(s;t)Cjs+(Cjs)Kji(s;t)+Kji(s;t)Cjs]}ds+dj=1Kji(s;t)dWji,s[t,T],Pi(T;t)=Gi, (3.2)

    for i=1,2. From the assumption that Qi and Gi are non-negative definite, it follows that Pi(s;t) are non-negative definite for i=1,2.

    Proposition 1. For any t[0,T),ϵ>0, and v1,v2L2Ft(Ω,Rl), define ut,ϵ,vii,i=1,2 by (2.4). Then

    J1(t,Xt;ut,ϵ,v11,u2)J1(t,Xt;u1,u2)=Ett+ϵt{Λ1(s;t),v1+12H1(s;t)v1,v1}ds+o(ϵ), (3.3)
    J2(t,Xt;u1,ut,ϵ,v22)J2(t,Xt;u1,u2)=Ett+ϵt{Λ2(s;t),v2+12H2(s;t)v2,v2}ds+o(ϵ), (3.4)

    where Λi(s;t)=Bi,spi(s;t)+dj=1(Dji,s)kji(s;t)+Ri,sui,s and Hi(s;t)=Ri,s+dj=1(Dji,s)Pi(s;t)Dji,s for i=1,2.

    Proof. Let Xt,ϵ,v1,v2 be the state process corresponding to ut,ϵ,vii,i=1,2. Then by standard perturbation approach (cf. [20,25] or pp. 126-128 of [24]), we have

    Xt,ϵ,v1,v2s=Xs+Yt,ϵ,v1,v2s+Zt,ϵ,v1,v2s,s[t,T], (3.5)

    where YYt,ϵ,v1,v2 and ZZt,ϵ,v1,v2 satisfy

    {dYs=AsYsds+dj=1[CjsYs+Dj1,sv11s[t,t+ϵ)+Dj2,sv21s[t,t+ϵ)]dWjs,s[t,T],Yt=0, (3.6)
    {dZs=[AsZs+B1,sv11s[t,t+ϵ)+B2,sv21s[t,t+ϵ)]ds+dj=1CjsZsdWjs,s[t,T],Zt=0. (3.7)

    Moreover, by Theorem 4.4 in [24], we have

    Et[sups[t,T)|Ys|2]=O(ϵ),Et[sups[t,T)|Zs|2]=O(ϵ2). (3.8)

    With A being deterministic, it follows from the dynamics of Y that, for any s[t,T], we have

    Et[Ys]=stEt[AsYτ]dτ=stAsEt[Yτ]dτ. (3.9)

    Hence we conclude that

    Et[Ys]=0s[t,T]. (3.10)

    By these estimates, we can calculate

    Ji(t,Xt;ut,ϵ,v11,ut,ϵ,v22)Ji(t,Xt;u1,u2)=12EtTt[<Qi,s(2Xs+Ys+Zs),Ys+Zs>+<Ri,s(2ui+vi),vi>1s[t,t+ϵ)]ds+Et[<GiXT,YT+ZT>]+12Et[<Gi(YT+ZT),YT+ZT>]<hiEt[XT]+λiXt+μi,Et[YT+ZT]>12<hiEt[YT+ZT],Et[YT+ZT]>=12EtTt[<Qi,s(2Xs+Ys+Zs),Ys+Zs>+<Ri,s(2ui+vi),vi>1s[t,t+ϵ)]ds+Et[<GiXThiEt[XT]λiXtμi,YT+ZT>+12<Gi(YT+ZT),YT+ZT>]+o(ϵ). (3.11)

    Recalling that (pi(;t),ki(;t)) and (Pi(;t),Ki(;t)) solve, respectively, BSDEs (3.1) and (3.2) for i=1,2, we have

    Et[<GiXThiEt[XT]λiXtμi,YT+ZT>]=Et[<pi(T;t),YT+ZT>]=Et[Ttd<pi(s;t),Ys+Zs>]=EtTt[<pi(s;t),As(Ys+Zs)+B1,sv11s[t,t+ϵ)+B2,sv21s[t,t+ϵ)><Aspi(s;t)+dj=1(Cjs)kji(s;t)+Qi,sXs,Ys+Zs>+dj=1<kji(s;t),Cjs(Ys+Zs)+Dj1,sv11s[t,t+ϵ)+Dj2,sv21s[t,t+ϵ)>]ds=EtTt[<Qi,sXs>+B1,spi(s;t)+dj=1(Dj1,s)kji(s;t),v11s[t,t+ϵ)+B2,spi(s;t)+dj=1(Dj2,s)kji(s;t),v21s[t,t+ϵ)]ds (3.12)

    and

    Et[12<Gi(YT+ZT),YT+ZT>]=Et[12<Pi(T;t)(YT+ZT),YT+ZT>]=Et[Ttd<Pi(s;t)(Ys+Zs),Ys+Zs>]=EtTt{<Pi(s;t)(Ys+Zs),As(Ys+Zs)+B1,sv11s[t,t+ϵ)+B2,sv21s[t,t+ϵ)>+<Pi(s;t)[As(Ys+Zs)+B1,sv11s[t,t+ϵ)+B2,sv21s[t,t+ϵ)],Ys+Zs><[AsPi(s;t)+Pi(s;t)As+Qi,s+dj=1((Cjs)Pi(s;t)Cjs+(Cjs)Kji(s;t)+Kji(s;t)Cjs)](Ys+Zs),Ys+Zs>+dj=1<Kji(s;t)(Ys+Zs),Cjs(Ys+Zs)+Dj1,sv11s[t,t+ϵ)+Dj2,sv21s[t,t+ϵ)>+dj=1<Kji(s;t)[Cjs(Ys+Zs)+Dj1,sv11s[t,t+ϵ)+Dj2,sv21s[t,t+ϵ)],Ys+Zs>+dj=1<Pi(s;t)[Cjs(Ys+Zs)+Dj1,sv11s[t,t+ϵ)+Dj2,sv21s[t,t+ϵ)],Cjs(Ys+Zs)+Dj1,sv11s[t,t+ϵ)+Dj2,sv21s[t,t+ϵ)>}ds=EtTt[<Qi,s(Ys+Zs),Ys+Zs>+dj=1<Pi(s;t)[Dj1,sv1+Dj2,sv2],Dj1,sv1+Dj2,sv2>1s[t,t+ϵ)]ds+o(ϵ) (3.13)

    Combining (3.11)-(3.13), we have

    Ji(t,Xt;ut,ϵ,v11,ut,ϵ,v22)Ji(t,Xt;u1,u2)=EtTt[12<Ri,s(2ui+vi),vi>1s[t,t+ϵ)+B1,spi(s;t)+dj=1(Dj1,s)kji(s;t),v11s[t,t+ϵ)+B2,spi(s;t)+dj=1(Dj2,s)kji(s;t),v21s[t,t+ϵ)+12dj=1<Pi(s;t)[Dj1,sv1+Dj2,sv2],Dj1,sv1+Dj2,sv2>1s[t,t+ϵ)]ds+o(ϵ). (3.14)

    Take i=1, we let v2=0, then ut,ϵ,v22=u2, from (3.14), we obtain

    J1(t,Xt;ut,ϵ,v11,u2)J1(t,Xt;u1,u2)=EtTt{R1,su1+B1,sp1(s;t)+dj=1(Dj1,s)kj1(s;t),v11s[t,t+ϵ)+12[R1,s+dj=1(Dj1,s)P1(s;t)Dj1,s]v1,v1}ds=Ett+ϵt{<Λ1(s;t),v1>+12<H1(s;t)v1,v1>}ds+o(ϵ). (3.15)

    This proves (3.3), and similarly, we obtain (3.4).

    Because of Ri,s and Pi(s;t),i=1,2 are non-negative definite, Hi(s;t), i=1,2 are also non-negative definite. In view of (3.3)-(3.4), a sufficient condition for an equilibrium is

    EtTt|Λi(s;t)|ds<+,limstEt[Λi(s;t)]=0 a.s. t[0,T],i=1,2. (3.16)

    By an arguments similar to the proof of Proposition 3.3 in [21], we have the following lemma:

    Lemma 3.1. For any triple of state and control processes (X,u1,u2), the solution to BSDE (3.1) in L2(0,T;Rn)×(L2(0,T;Rn))d satisfies ki(s;t1)=ki(s;t2) for a.e. smax{t1,t2},i=1,2. Furthermore, there exist ρiL2(0,T;Rl), δiL2(0,T;Rl×n) and ξiL2(Ω;C(0,T;Rn)), such that

    Λi(s;t)=ρi(s)+δi(s)ξi(t),i=1,2. (3.17)

    Therefore, we have another characterization for equilibrium strategies:

    Proposition 2. Given a strategy pair (u1,u2)L2(0,T;Rl)×L2(0,T;Rl). Denote X as the state process, and (pi(;t),(kji(;t)j=1,2,...,d))L2F(t,T;Rn)×(L2F(t,T;Rn))d as the unique solution for the BSDE (3.1), with ki(s)=ki(s;t) according to Lemma 3.1 for i=1,2 respectively. For i=1,2, letting

    Λi(s,t)=Bi,spi(s;t)+dj=1(Dj,s)k(s;t)j+Ri,sui,s,s[t,T], (3.18)

    then u is an equilibrium strategy if and only if

    Λi(t,t)=0,a.s.,a.e.t[0,T],i=1,2. (3.19)

    Proof. From (3.17), we have Λ1(s;t)=ρ1(s)+δ1(s)ξ1(t). Since δ1 is essentially bounded and ξ1 is continuous, we have

    limϵ0Et[1ϵt+ϵt|δ1(s)(ξ1(s)ξ1(t))|ds]climϵ01ϵt+ϵtEt[|ξ1(s)ξ1(t)|]ds=0,

    and hence

    limϵ01ϵt+ϵtEt[Λ1(s;t)]ds=limϵ01ϵt+ϵtEt[Λ1(s;s)]ds.

    Therefore, if (3.19) holds, we have

    limϵ01ϵt+ϵtEt[Λ1(s;t)]ds=limϵ01ϵt+ϵtEt[Λ1(s;s)]ds=0.

    When i=2, we can prove (3.19) similarly.

    Conversely, if (3.16) holds, then limϵ01ϵt+ϵtEt[Λi(s;s)]ds=0,i=1,2 leading to (3.19) by virtue of Lemma 3.4 of [21].

    The following is the main general result for the stochastic LQ differential game with time-inconsistency.

    Theorem 3.2. A strategy pair (u1,u2)L2F(0,T;Rl)×L2F(0,T;Rl) is an equilibrium strategy pair if the following two conditions hold for any time t:

    (i) The system of SDEs

    {dXs=[AsXs+B1,su1,s+B2,su2,s+bs]ds+dj=1[CjsXs+Dj1,su1,s+Dj2,su2,s+σjs]dWjs,X0=x0,dp1(s;t)=[Asp1(s;t)+dj=1(Cjs)kj1(s;t)+Q1,sXs]ds+dj=1kj1(s;t)dWjs,s[t,T],p1(T;t)=G1XTh1Et[XT]λ1Xtμ1,dp2(s;t)=[Asp2(s;t)+dj=1(Cjs)kj2(s;t)+Q2,sXs]ds+dj=1kj2(s;t)dWjs,s[t,T],p2(T;t)=G2XTh2Et[XT]λ2Xtμ2, (3.20)

    admits a solution (X,p1,k1,p2,k2);

    (ii) Λi(s;t)=Ri,sui,s+Bi,spi(s;t)+dj=1(Dji,s)kji(s;t),i=1,2 satisfy condition (3.19).

    Proof. Given a strategy pair (u1,u2)L2F(0,T;Rl)×L2F(0,T;Rl) satisfying (i) and (ii), then for any v1,v2L2Ft(Ω,Rl), define Λi,Hi,i=1,2 as in Proposition 1. We have

    limϵ0J1(t,Xt;ut,ϵ,v11,u2)J1(t,Xt;u1,u2)ϵ=limϵ0Ett+ϵt{<Λ1(s;t),v1>+12<H1(s;t)v1,v1>}dsϵlimϵ0Ett+ϵt<Λ1(s;t),v1>dsϵ=0, (3.21)

    proving the first condition of Definition 2.1, and the proof of the second condition is similar.

    Theorem 3.2 involve the existence of solutions to a flow of FBSDEs along with other conditions. The system (3.20) is more complicated than system (3.6) in [20]. As declared in [20], "proving the general existence for this type of FBSEs remains an outstanding open problem", it is also true for our system (3.20).

    In the rest of this paper, we will focus on the case when n=1. When n=1, the state process X is a scalar-valued rocess evolving by the dynamics

    dXs=[AsXs+B1,su1,s+B2,su2,s+bs]ds+[CsXs+D1,su1,s+D2,su2,s+σs]dWs,X0=x0, (3.22)

    where A is a bounded deterministic scalar function on [0,T]. The other parameters B,C,D are all essentially bounded and Ft-adapted processes on [0,T] with values in Rl,Rd,Rd×l, respectively. Moreover, bL2F(0,T;R) and σL2F(0,T;Rd).

    In this case, the adjoint equations for the equilibrium strategy become

    {dpi(s;t)=[Aspi(s;t)+(Cs)ki(s;t)+Qi,sXs]ds+ki(s;t)dWs,s[t,T],pi(T;t)=GiXThiEt[XT]λiXtμi, (3.23)
    {dPi(s;t)=[(2As+|Cs|2)Pi(s;t)+2CsK(s;t)+Qi,s]ds+Ki(s;t)dWs,s[t,T],Pi(T;t)=Gi, (3.24)

    for i=1,2. For convenience, we also state here the n=1 version of Theorem 3.2:

    Theorem 3.3. A strategy pair (u1,u2)L2F(0,T;Rl)×L2F(0,T;Rl) is an equilibrium strategy pair if, for any time t[0,T),

    (i) The system of SDEs

    {dXs=[AsXs+B1,su1,s+B2,su2,s+bs]ds+[CsXs+D1,su1,s+D2,su2,s+σs]dWs,X0=x0,dp1(s;t)=[Asp1(s;t)+(Cs)k1(s;t)+Q1,sXs]ds+k1(s;t)dWs,s[t,T],p1(T;t)=G1XTh1Et[XT]λ1Xtμ1,dp2(s;t)=[Asp2(s;t)+(Cs)k2(s;t)+Q2,sXs]ds+k2(s;t)dWs,s[t,T],p2(T;t)=G2XTh2Et[XT]λ2Xtμ2, (3.25)

    admits a solution (X,p1,k1,p2,k2);

    (ii) Λi(s;t)=Ri,sui,s+Bi,spi(s;t)+(Di,s)ki(s;t),i=1,2 satisfy condition (3.19).

    The unique solvability of (3.25) remains a challenging open problem even for the case n=1. However, we are able to solve this problem when the parameters A,B1,B2,C,D1,D2,b,σ,Q1,Q2,R1 and R2 are all deterministic functions.

    Throughout this section we assume all the parameters are deterministic functions of t. In this case, since G1,G2 have been also assumed to be deterministic, the BSDEs (3.24) turns out to be ODEs with solutions Ki0 and Pi(s;t)=GieTs(2Au+|Cu|2)du+TseTs(2Au+|Cu|2)duQi,vdv for i=1,2. Hence, the equilibrium strategy will be characterized through a system of coupled Riccati-type equations.

    As in classical LQ control, we attempt to look for a linear feedback equilibrium strategy pair. For such purpose, motivated by [20], given any t[0,T], we consider the following process:

    pi(s;t)=Mi,sXsNi,sEt[Xs]Γi,sXt+Φi,s,0tsT,i=1,2, (4.1)

    where Mi,Ni,Γi,Φi are deterministic differentiable functions with ˙Mi=mi,˙Ni=ni,˙Γi=γi and ˙Φi=ϕi for i=1,2. The advantage of this process is to separate the variables Xs,Et[Xs] and Xt in the solutions pi(s;t),i=1,2, thereby reducing the complicated FBSDEs to some ODEs.

    For any fixed t, applying Ito's formula to (4.1) in the time variable s, we obtain, for i=1,2,

    dpi(s;t)={Mi,s(AsXs+B1,su1,s+B2,su2,s+bs)+mi,sXsNi,sEt[AsXs+B1,su1,s+B2,su2,s+bs]ni,sEt[Xs]γi,sXt+ϕi,s}ds+Mi,s(CsXs+D1,su1,s+D2,su2,s+σs)dWs. (4.2)

    Comparing the dWs term of dpi(s;t) in (3.25) and (4.2), we have

    ki(s;t)=Mi,s[CsXs+D1,su1,s+D2,su2,s+σs],s[t,T],i=1,2. (4.3)

    Notice that k(s;t) turns out to be independent of t.

    Putting the above expressions (4.1) and (4.3) of pi(s;t) and ki(s;t),i=1,2 into (3.19), we have

    Ri,sui,s+Bi,s[(Mi,sNi,sΓi,s)Xs+Φi,s]+Di,sMi,s[CsXs+D1,su1,s+D2,su2,s+σs]=0,s[0,T], (4.4)

    for i=1,2. Then we can formally deduce

    ui,s=αi,sXs+βi,s,i=1,2. (4.5)

    Let Ms=diag(M1,sIl,M2,sIl),Ns=diag(N1,sIl,N2,sIl),Γs=diag(Γ1,sIl,Γ2,sIl),Φs=diag(Φ1,sIl,Φ2,sIl), Rs=diag(R1,s,R2,s),Bs=(B1,sB2,s),Ds=(D1,s,D2,s), us=(u1,su2,s),αs=(α1,sα2,s) and βs=(β1,sβ2,s). Then from (4.4), we have

    Rsus+[(MsNsΓs)Xs+Φs]Bs+MsDs[CsXs+Ds(αsXs+βs)+σs]=0,s[0,T] (4.6)

    and hence

    αs=(Rs+MsDsDs)1[(MsNsΓs)Bs+MsDsCs], (4.7)
    βs=(Rs+MsDsDs)1(ΦsBs+MsDsσs). (4.8)

    Next, comparing the ds term of dpi(s;t) in (3.25) and (4.2) (we supress the argument s here), we have

    Mi[AX+B(αX+β)+b]+miXNi{AEt[X]+BEt[αX+β]+b}niEt[X]γiXt+ϕi=[A(MiXNiEt[X]ΓiXt+Φi)+MiC(CX+D(αX+β)+σ)]. (4.9)

    Notice in the above that X=Xs and Et[X]=Et[Xs] due to the omission of s. This leads to the following equations for Mi,Ni,Γi,Φi:

    {˙Mi=(2A+|C|2)MiQi+Mi(B+CD)(R+MDD)1[(MNΓ)B+MDC],s[0,T],Mi,T=Gi; (4.10)
    {˙Ni=2ANi+NiB(R+MDD)1[(MNΓ)B+MDC],s[0,T],Ni,T=hi; (4.11)
    {˙Γi=AΓi,s[0,T],Γi,T=λi; (4.12)
    {˙Φi={A[B(MN)+CDM](R+MDD)1B}Φi(MiNi)bMiCσ[(MiNi)B+MiCD](R+MDD)1MDσ,s[0,T],Φi,T=μi. (4.13)

    Though Mi,Ni,Γi,Φi,i=1,2 are scalars, M,N,Γ,Φ are now matrices because of two players. Therefore, the above equations are more complicated than the similar equations (4.5)–(4.8) in [20]. Before we solve the equations (4.10)–(4.13), we first prove that, if exist, the equilibrium constructed above is the unique equilibrium. Indeed, we have

    Theorem 4.1. Let

    L1={X(;):X(;t)L2F(t,T;R),supt[0,T]E[supst|X(s;t)|2]<+} (4.14)

    and

    L2={Y(;):Y(;t)L2F(t,T;Rd),supt[0,T]E[Tt|X(s;t)|2ds]<+}. (4.15)

    Suppose all the parameters A,B1,B2,C,D1,D2,b,σ,Q1,Q2,R1 and R2 are all deterministic.

    When (Mi,Ni,Γi,Φi),i=1,2 exist, and for i=1,2, (pi(s;t),ki(s;t))L1×L2, the equilibrium strategy is unique.

    Proof. Suppose there is another equilibrium (X,u1,u2), then the BSDE (3.1), with X replaced by X, admits a solution (pi(s;t),ki(s),ui,s) for i=1,2, which satisfies Bi,spi(s;s)+Di,ski(s)+Ri,sui,s=0 for a.e. s[0,T]. For i=1,2, define

    ˉpi(s;t)pi(s;t)[Mi,sXsNi,sEt[Xs]Γi,s+Φi,s], (4.16)
    ˉki(s;t)ki(s)Mi,s(CsXs+D1,su1,s+D2,su2,s+σs), (4.17)

    where ki(s)=ki(s;t) by Lemma 3.1.

    We define p(s;t)=diag(p1(s;t)Il,p2(s;t)Il), ˉp(s;t)=diag(ˉp1(s;t)Il,ˉp2(s;t)Il), and u=(u1,su2,s). By the equilibrium condition (3.19), we have

    0=(B1,sp1(s;s)+D1,sk1(s)+R1,su1,sB2,sp2(s;s)+D2,sk2(s)+R2,su2,s)=p(s;s)Bs+(D1,sk1(s)D2,sk2(s))+Rsus=[ˉp(s;s)+Xs(MsNsΓs)+Φs]Bs+(D1,sˉk1(s)D2,sˉk2(s))+MsDs(CsXs+Dsus+σs)+Rsus=ˉp(s;s)Bs+(D1,sˉk1(s)D2,sˉk2(s))+Xs[(MsNsΓs)Bs+MsDsCs]+ΦsBs+MsDsσs+(Rs+MsDsDs)us. (4.18)

    Since Rs+MsDsDs is invertible, we have

    us=(Rs+MsDsDs)1{ˉp(s;s)Bs+(D1,sˉk1(s)D2,sˉk2(s))+Xs[(MsNsΓs)Bs+MsDsCs]+ΦsBs+MsDsσs}, (4.19)

    and hence for i=1,2,

    dˉpi(s;t)=dpi(s;t)d[Mi,sXsNi,sEt[Xs]Γi,s+Φi,s]=[Aspi(s;t)+Cski(s)+Qi,sXs]ds+ki(s)dWsd[Mi,sXsNi,sEt[Xs]Γi,sXt+Φi,s]={Asˉpi(s;t)+Csˉki(s)+As(Mi,sXsNi,sEt[Xs]Γi,sXt+Φi,s) +CsMi,s(CsXs+D1,su1,s+D2,su2,s+σs)}ds +[ˉki(s)Mi,s(CsXs+D1,su1,s+D2,su2,s+σs)]dWs{Mi,s[AsXs+Bsus+bs]+mi,sXsNi,s(AsEt[Xs]+BsEt[us]+bs) ni,sEt[Xs]γi,sXt+ϕi,s}dsMi,s[CsXs+Dsus+σs]dWs={Asˉpi(s;t)+Csˉki(s)Mi,s(Bs+CsDs)(Rs+MsDsDs)1[Bsˉp(s;s)+(D1,sˉk1(s)D2,sˉk2(s))]Ni,sBs(Rs+MsDsDs)1Et[Bsˉp(s;s)+(D1,sˉk1(s)D2,sˉk2(s))]}ds+ˉki(s)dWs, (4.20)

    where we suppress the subscript s for the parameters, and we have used the equations (4.10)–(4.13) for Mi,Ni,Γi,Φi in the last equality. From (4.16) and (4.17), we have (ˉpi,ˉki)L1×L2. Therefore, by Theorem 4.2 of [21], we obtain ˉp(s;t)0 and ˉk(s)0.

    Finally, plugging ˉpˉk0 into u of (4.19), we get u being the same form of feedback strategy as in (4.5), and hence (X,u1,u2) is the same as (X,u1,u2) which defined by (4.5) and (3.25).

    The solutions to (4.12) is

    Γi,s=λieTsAtdt, (4.21)

    for i=1,2. Let ˜N=N1/N2, from (4.11), we have ˙˜N=0, and hence

    ˜Nh1h2,N2h2h1N1. (4.22)

    Equations (4.10) and (4.11) form a system of coupled Riccati-type equations for (M1,M2,N1):

    {˙M1=[2A+|C|2+BΓ(R+MDD)1(B+DC)]M1Q1+(B+DC)(R+MDD)1M(B+DC)M1BN(R+MDD)1(B+DC)M1,M1,T=G1;˙M2=[2A+|C|2+BΓ(R+MDD)1(B+DC)]M2Q2+(B+DC)(R+MDD)1M(B+DC)M2BN(R+MDD)1(B+DC)M2,M2,T=G2;˙N1=2ANi+NiB(R+MDD)1[(MNΓ)B+MDC],N1,T=h1. (4.23)

    Finally, once we get the solution for (M1,M2,N1), (4.13) is a simple ODE. Therefore, it is crucial to solve (4.23).

    Formally, we define ˜M=M1M2 and J1=M1N1 and study the following equation for (M1,˜M,J1):

    {˙M1=[2A+|C|2+BΓ(R+MDD)1(B+DC)]M1Q1+(B+DC)(R+MDD)1M(B+DC)M1BN(R+MDD)1(B+DC)M1,M1,T=G1;˙˜M=(Q1M1Q2M1˜M)˜M,˜MT=G1G2;˙J1=[|C|2CD(R+MDD)1M(B+DC)+BΓ(R+MDD)1DC+Q1M1]J1CD(R+MDD)1Mdiag(Il,h2h1˜MIl)B,J1,T=G1h1, (4.24)

    where M=diag(M1Il,M1˜MIl),N=diag(M1J1Il,h2h1M1J1Il) and Γ=diag(λ1eTsAtdtIl,λ2eTsAtdtIl).

    By a direct calculation, we have

    Proposition 3. If the system (4.24) admits a positive solution (M1,˜M,J1), then the system (4.23) admits a solution (M1,M2,N1).

    In the following, we will use the truncation method to study the system (4.24). For convenienc, we use the following notations:

    ab=max{a,b},a,bR, (4.25)
    ab=min{a,b},a,bR. (4.26)

    Moreover, for a matrix MRm×n and a real number c, we define

    (Mc)i,j=Mi,jc,1im,1jn, (4.27)
    (Mc)i,j=Mi,jc,1im,1jn. (4.28)

    We first consider the standard case where RδI0 for some δ>0. We have

    Theorem 4.2. Assume that RδI0 for some δ>0 and Gh>0. Then (4.24), and hence (4.23) admit unique solution if

    (i) there exists a constant λ0 such that B=λDC;

    (ii) |C|22lDD(λ+1)DCCD0.

    Proof. For fixed c>0 and K>0, consider the following truncated system of (4.24):

    {˙M1=[2A+|C|2+BΓ(R+M+cDD)1(B+DC)]M1Q1+(B+DC)(R+M+cDD)1(M+cK)(B+DC)M1B(N+cK)(R+M+cDD)1(B+DC)M1,M1,T=G1;˙˜M=(Q1M1cQ2M1c˜MK)˜M,˜MT=G1G2;˙J1=λ(1)J1CD(R+M+cDD)1(M+cK)diag(Il,h2h1(˜MK)Il)B,J1,T=G1h1, (4.29)

    where M+c=diag((M10)Il,M10˜McIl), N+c=diag(M10J1cIl,h2h1M10J1cIl) and

    λ(1)=|C|2CD(R+M+cDD)1(M+cK)(B+DC)+BΓ(R+M+cDD)1DC+Q1M1c. (4.30)

    Since RδI0, the above system (4.29) is locally Lipschitz with linear growth, and hence it admits a unique solution (Mc,K1,˜Mc,K,Jc,K1). We will omit the superscript (c,K) when there is no confusion.

    We are going to prove that J11 and that M1,˜M[L1,L2] for some L1,L2>0 independent of c and K appearing in the truncation functions. We denote

    λ(2)=(2A+|C|2+BΓ(R+M+cDD)1(B+DC))(B+DC)(R+M+cDD)1(M+cK)(B+DC)B(N+cK)(R+M+cDD)1(B+DC). (4.31)

    Then λ(2) is bounded, and M1 satisfies

    ˙M1+λ(2)M1+Q1=0,M1,T=G1. (4.32)

    Hence M1>0. Similarly, we have ˜M>0.

    The equation for ˜M is

    {˙˜M=(Q1M1c˜MQ2M1c(˜MK)˜M,˜MT=G1G2; (4.33)

    hence ˜M admits an upper bound L2 independent of c and K. Choosing K=L2 and examining again (4.33), we deduce that there exists L1>0 independent of c and K such that ˜ML1. Indeed, we can choose L1=min0tTQ1,tQ2,tG1G2 and L2=max0tTQ1,tQ2,tG1G2. As a result, choosing c<L1, the terms M+c can be replaced by M=diag(M1Il,M1˜MIl), respectively, in (4.29) without changing their values.

    Now we prove J1. Denote ˜J=J11, then ˜J satisfies the ODE:

    ˙˜J=λ(1)˜J[λ(1)+CD(R+MDD)1(MK)diag(Il,h2h1˜MIl)B]=λ(1)˜Ja(1), (4.34)

    where

    a(1)=λ(1)+CD(R+MDD)1(MK)diag(Il,h2h1˜MIl)B=|C|2(λ+1)CD(R+MDD)1(MK)DC+CDΓ(R+MDD)1(MK)DC++Q1M1c+CD(R+MDD)1(MK)diag(Il,h2h1˜MIl)DC|C|2(λ+1)CD(R+MDD)1MDC+CDΓ(R+MDD)1(MK)DC++Q1M1c=tr{(R+MDD)1|C|2+Q1/(M1c)2l(R+MDD)}(λ+1)tr{(R+MDD)1DCCDM}=tr{(R+MDD)1H} (4.35)

    with H=|C|2+Q1/(M1c)2l(R+DDM)(λ+1)DCCDM.

    When c is small enough such that RcDD0, we have

    Q1M1c(R+MDD)Q1L2DD. (4.36)

    Hence,

    H(|C|22lDD(λ+1)DCCD)M0, (4.37)

    and consequently a(1)tr{(R+MDD)1H}0. We then deduce that ˜J0, and hence J11. The boundness of M1 can be proved by a similar argument in the proof of Theorem 4.2 in [20].

    Similarly, for the singular case R0, we have

    Theorem 4.3. Given G1h11,R0, if B=λDC and |C|2(λ+1)CD(DD)1DC0, then (4.24) and (4.23) admit a unique positive solution.

    Concluding the above two theorems, we can present our main results of this section:

    Theorem 4.4. Given G1h11 and B=λDC. The (4.23) admits a unique positive solution (M1,M2,N1) in the following two cases:

    (i) RδI0 for some δ>0, |C|22lDD(λ+1)DCCD0;

    (ii) R0, |C|2(λ+1)CD(DD)1DC0.

    Proof. Define pi(s;t) and ki(s;t) by (4.1) and (4.3), respectively. It is straightforward to check that (u1,u2,X,p1,p2,k1,k2) satisfies the system of SDEs (3.25). Moreover, in the both cases, we can check that αi,s and βi,s in (4.5) are all uniformly bounded, and hence uiL2F(0,T;Rl) and XL2(Ω;C(0,T;R)).

    Finally, denote Λi(s;t)=Ri,sui,s+pi(s;t)Bi,s+(Di,s)ki(s;t),i=1,2. Plugging pi,ki,ui define in (4.1), (4.3) and (4.5) into Λi, we have

    Λi(s;t)=Ri,sui,s+(Mi,sXsNi,sEt[Xs]Γi,sXt+Φi,s)Bi,s+Mi,sDi,s[CsXs+D1,su1,s+D2,su2,s+σs] (4.38)

    and hence,

    Λ(t;t)(Λ1(t;t)Λ2(t;t))=(Rt+MtDtDt)ut+Mt(Bt+DtCt)XtNtBtEt[Xt]ΓtBtXt+(ΦtBt+MtDtσt)=[(MtNtΓt)Bt+MtDtCt]Xt(ΦtBt+MtDtσt)+Mt(Bt+DtCt)XtNtBtXtΓtBtXt+(ΦtBt+MtDtσt)=0. (4.39)

    Therefore, Λi satisfies the seond condition in (3.19).

    We investigate a general stochastic linear-quadratic differential game, where the objective functional of each player include both a quadratic term of the expected state and a state-dependent term. As discussed in detail in Björk and Murgoci [17] and [18], the last two terms in each objective functional, respectively, introduce two sources of time inconsistency into the differential game problem. That is to say, the usual equilibrium aspect is not a proper way when the players at 0 cannot commit the players at all intermediate times to implement the decisions they have planed. With the time-inconsistency, the notion "equilibrium" needs to be extended in an appropriate way. We turn to adopt the concept of equilibrium strategy between the players at all different times, which is at any time, an equilibrium "infinitesimally" via spike variation. By applying the spike variation technique, We derive a sufficient condition for equilibrium strategies via a system of forward-backward stochastic differential equation. The unique solvability of such FBSDEs remains a challenging open problem.

    For a special case, when the state is one-dimensional and the coefficients are all deterministic, the equilibrium strategy will be characterized through a system of coupled Riccati-type equations. At last, we find an explicit equilibrium strategy, which is also proved be the unique equilibrium strategy.
