A Douglas-Rachford Splitting Method for Solving Monotone Variational Inequalities in Linear-quadratic Dynamic Games (2504.05757v1)

Abstract: This paper considers constrained linear dynamic games with quadratic objective functions, which can be cast as affine variational inequalities. By leveraging the problem structure, we apply the Douglas-Rachford splitting, which generates a solution algorithm with linear convergence rate. The fast convergence of the method enables receding-horizon control architectures. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the associated VI admits a closed-form solution within a neighborhood of the attractor, thus allowing for a further reduction in computation time. Finally, we benchmark the proposed method via numerical experiments in an automated driving application.
