For a classical differential game of pollution control, we consider how the possession of specific information would impact the payoff of some players compared to cases in which the knowledge of information is incomplete. To measure the resulting discrepancy, we use the notion of value of information (VoI). Specifically, we study two scenarios, one in which the role of knowledge about the terminal cost is studied, and the other one, in which we analyze the influence of knowledge about the exact value of the upper bound on control. For each case, we obtain explicit analytical expressions for the payoff functions. These functions are used to quantify the exact value of information.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
