All-Against-One (AAO) games are a special class of multi-player games where all players except one are in direct conflict with the remaining player. In the case of Linear Quadratic Differential (LQD) games, the AAO structure can be used to describe a situation where all players except one are trying to regulate the state of the system (drive it towards the origin) while the opposing player is trying to de-regulate the state (drive it away from the origin). Similar to the standard LQD games, the closed-loop Nash strategies in the AAO LQD games are expressed in terms of the solutions of a set of coupled matrix Riccati differential equations. However, conditions for the existence of a solution to these equations are different and more challenging in the AAO case. In this paper, we derive conditions for existence, definiteness, and uniqueness of a solution to these equations as well as conditions for boundedness of the resulting state trajectory to ensure that the opposing player fails in accomplishing its objective. Finally, we consider two options for designing Nash strategies for the players and we illustrate the results with an example of 3-against-1 pursuit-evasion differential game. |
