Identifying Time-varying Costs in Finite-horizon Linear Quadratic Gaussian Games

摘要

We address cost identification in a finite-horizon linear quadratic Gaussian game. We characterize the set of cost parameters that generate a given Nash equilibrium policy. We propose a backpropagation algorithm to identify the time-varying cost parameters. We derive a probabilistic error bound when the cost parameters are identified from finite trajectories. We test our method in numerical and driving simulations. Our algorithm identifies the cost parameters that can reproduce the Nash equilibrium policy and trajectory observations.
