Title:Entropy Regularized Reinforcement Learning for Zero-Sum Stochastic Differential Games in a Regime-Switching Jump-Diffusion Process
Abstract:To address parameter misspecification and sudden structural environmental changes in conventional stochastic differential game (SDG) frameworks, this paper introduces a distributional control approach that characterizes optimal strategies as probability distributions over actions, conditioned on the continuous state, the discrete regime state, and parameters. This forms a reinforcement learning framework for entropy-regularized zero-sum stochastic differential games (ERRL-ZSSDGs) in a regime-switching jump-diffusion process. Using the dynamic programming principle (DPP), we derive the associated coupled systems of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs (HJBI) equations, from which equilibrium strategies are expressed via gradients of the value function. For linear-quadratic problems, semi-analytical solutions for both value function and equilibrium strategies are obtained by solving a system of coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs). In more general settings, an Actor-Critic policy improvement algorithm is developed to approximate the value functions and equilibrium policies across different regimes. The method is applied to an investment game, and numerical examples illustrate the effect of the temperature parameter and regime transitions on optimal policies and values.
