We consider a noncooperative $n$-player principal eigenvalue game which is associated with an infinitesimal generator of a stochastically perturbed multi-channel dynamical system -- where, in the course of such a game, each player attempts to minimize the asymptotic rate with which the controlled state trajectory of the system exits from a given bounded open domain. In particular, we show the existence of a Nash-equilibrium point (i.e., an $n$-tuple of equilibrium linear feedback operators) in a game-theoretic setting that is connected to a maximum closed invariant set of the corresponding deterministic multi-channel dynamical system, when the latter is composed with this $n$-tuple of equilibrium linear feedback operators.
Keywords: Asymptotic exit rate, principal eigenvalue, Nash equilibrium, multi-channel dynamical systems, noncooperative game., infinitesimal generator.
