3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Second Text, April 17, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Differential Games (Dover Books on Mathematics) (Paperback)
To be very straightforward, this is not a book for beginners. And it doesn't claim to be. This book assumes a good understanding of not only the computational aspects of differential equations, but also of the the theoretical.

Friedman's Differential Games offers a very good, rigorous framework for Differential Game Theory. Unfortunately, that same rigor makes it difficult to approach, and hard to learn. Expect to take a lot of time working the problems, and consider leaving this book until after reading a more basic text, like Issacs' Differential Games.

4.0 out of 5 stars A method between analysis and geometry, December 20, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Differential Games (Dover Books on Mathematics) (Paperback)
Friedman talks about the differential games, particullary the control functions. We consider the strategies which we give a value called pay-off. The saddle points are conditions for equilibrium. Those strategies repeat themself for approximation.
