Abstract

We consider a class of non-linear partial differential systems like - div (a(x)∇uν) + λuν = Hν(x, Du), with applications for the solution of stochastic differential games with N players, where N is an arbitrary but positive number. The Hamiltonian H of the non-linear system satisfies a quadratic growth condition in Du and contains interactions between the players in the form of non-compact coupling terms ∇ui ∇uj. A L ∩ H 1-estimate and regularity results are shown, mainly in two-dimensional space. The coupling arises from cyclic non-market interaction of the control variables.
