This volume lays the mathematical foundations for the theory of differential games, developing a rigorous mathematical framework with existence theorems. Topics include games of fixed duration, games of pursuit and evasion, the computation of saddle points, games of survival, and games with restricted phase coordinates. 1971 edition.
