Yaning Lin received the M.S. degree in operations research and cybernetics from Shandong University, Jinan, China, and the Ph.D. degree in control theory and control engineering from Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao, China, in 2008 and 2018, respectively. She is currently an associate professor with the Shandong University of Technology, Zibo, China. Her main research interests include game theory, stochastic systems, descriptor systems and optimal control.
Weihai Zhang received the M.S. degree in probability theory and mathematical statistics from Hangzhou University (now Zhejiang University), Hangzhou, China, and the Ph.D. degree in operations research and cybernetics from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, in 1994 and 1998, respectively. He is currently a Professor with the Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao, China. He has authored and co-authored more than 110 peer-reviewed journal papers and one monograph Stochastic H2/H Control: A Nash Game Approach (Boca Raton, FL, USA: CRC Press, 2017). His research interests include linear and nonlinear stochastic optimal control, mean-field systems, robust H control, stochastic stability and stabilization, multi-objective optimization, and fuzzy adaptive control. Dr. Zhang is a Member of Technical Committee on Control Theory of the Chinese Association of Automation. He received the second prize of the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China twice. He is a Taishan Scholar of Shandong Province of China, and serves as an Associate Editor for the Asian Journal of Control and Journal of the Franklin Institute.

"The book provides a concise, clear summary of its subject matter. It will be a valuable reference for researchers looking to apply models of cooperative dynamic games in their work." (Thomas Wiseman, zbMATH 1519.91003, 2023)
