We study existence and turnpike properties of approximate solutions for a class of dynamic discrete-time two-player zero-sum games without using convexity-concavity assumptions. We describe the structure of approximate solutions which is independent of the length of the interval, for all sufficiently large intervals and show that approximate solutions are determined mainly by the objective function, and are essentially independent of the choice of interval and endpoint conditions.
Keywords: Approximate solution, zero-sum game., dynamic game, turnpike property.
