AbstractThis article provides sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions for two‐person zero‐sum games with inf/sup‐compact payoff functions and with possibly noncompact decision sets for both players. Payoff functions may be unbounded, and we do not assume any convexity/concavity‐type conditions. For such games expected payoff may not exist for some pairs of strategies. The results of this article imply several classic facts. The article also provides sufficient conditions for the existence of a value and solutions for each player. The results of this article are illustrated with the number guessing game.

Here, the authors present modern mathematical methods to solve problems of differential-operator inclusions and evolution variation inequalities which may occur in fields such as geophysics, aerohydrodynamics, or fluid dynamics. For the first time, they describe the detailed generalization of various approaches to the analysis of fundamentally nonlinear models and provide a toolbox of mathematical equations. These new mathematical methods can be applied to a broad spectrum of problems. Examples of these are phase changes, diffusion of electromagnetic, acoustic, vibro-, hydro- and seismoacoustic waves, or quantum mechanical effects. This is the second of two volumes dealing with the subject.
