State constrained convex Nash equilibrium problems coupled with linear hyperbolic PDEs

We study the existence of equilibria for state constrained, convex generalized Nash equilibrium problems (GNEPs) coupled with hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Analogous problems have been addressed for state constrained GNEPs coupled with elliptic and parabolic PDEs, respectively, but the problematic regularity of the set-valued constraint maps has been a barrier for development of an existence theory in the hyperbolic case. This is mainly due to compactness issues with the strategy-to-state maps. Beyond existence, we also provide first-order optimality conditions for a class of fairly general linear hyperbolic PDEs and show its relevance for applications such as the wave equation, advertising dynamics, and the linearized isothermal Euler system on networks.
