On Nash Equilibria for Noncooperative Games Governed by the Burgers Equation

Existence of a Nash equilibrium in a noncooperative game governed by the one-dimensional Burgers equation, proposed in the case of pointwise controls in Ref. 1, is proved under data qualifications that guarantee the diffusion term in the Burgers’ equation to be dominant enough with respect to the uniform convexity of the payoffs. This work was partly supported by Grants 201/03/0934 (GA čR) and MSM 0021620839 (MšMT čR). Inspiring discussions with Angel M. Ramos are acknowledged.
