Specifically, we show that the first and second order linear derivatives of the objective function for each player can be expressed through the corresponding first and second-order adjoint equations, which leads to rigorous estimates for $α$. We illustrate the dependence of $α$ on game characteristics through detailed analysis of linear-quadratic games, and with common noise.","short_abstract":"In this paper, we examine a class of $α$-potential stochastic differential games with random coefficients via the backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) approach.
