Abstract Nonzero-sum stochastic differential games with impulse controls offer a realistic and far-reaching modelling framework for applications within finance, energy markets, and other areas, but the difficulty in solving such problems has hindered their proliferation. Semi-analytical approaches make strong assumptions pertaining to very particular cases. To the author’s best knowledge, the only numerical method in the literature is the heuristic one we put forward in Aïd et al (ESAIM Proc Surv 65:27–45, 2019) to solve an underlying system of quasi-variational inequalities. Focusing on symmetric games, this paper presents a simpler, more precise and efficient fixed-point policy-iteration-type algorithm which removes the strong dependence on the initial guess and the relaxation scheme of the previous method. A rigorous convergence analysis is undertaken with natural assumptions on the players strategies, which admit graph-theoretic interpretations in the context of weakly chained diagonally dominant matrices. A novel provably convergent single-player impulse control solver is also provided. The main algorithm is used to compute with high precision equilibrium payoffs and Nash equilibria of otherwise very challenging problems, and even some which go beyond the scope of the currently available theory.

In this article, we establish a new Mann-type method combining both inertial terms and errors to find a fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping in a Hilbert space. We show strong convergence of the iterate under some appropriate assumptions in order to find a solution to an investigative fixed point problem. For the virtue of the main theorem, it can be applied to an approximately zero point of the sum of three monotone operators. We compare the convergent performance of our proposed method, the Mann-type algorithm without both inertial terms and errors, and the Halpern-type algorithm in convex minimization problem with the constraint of a non-zero asymmetric linear transformation. Finally, we illustrate the functionality of the algorithm through numerical experiments addressing image restoration problems.
