摘要：This talk is on a two-person zero-sum game for finite horizon semi-Markov processes, where the concerned criterion is the probability that the total payoff produced by a system during a finite horizon exceeds a prescribed goal. which can be regarded as the security probability for player 1 as well as the risk probability for player 2. First, we give the characterization of the probability, and establish the Shapley equation and the existence of a saddle point under a suitable condition. Then, we develop a value iterative algorithm to compute an epsilon-saddle point and the value of the game by solving a series of matrix games. Finally, we demonstrate the application of our main results by an example on an inventory system.
