In this paper, we are concerned with game-theoretic interpretations to the following oblique derivative boundary value problem \begin{align*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \Delta_{p}^{N}u=0 & \textrm{in $ \Omega$,}\\ \langle \beta , Du \rangle…
In this paper, we investigate a class of tug-of-war games that incorporate a constant payoff discount rate at each turn. The associated model problems are $p$-Laplace type partial differential equations with zeroth-order terms. We establish…
In this paper we find viscosity solutions to an elliptic system governed by two different operators (the Laplacian and the infinity Laplacian) using a probabilistic approach. We analyze a game that combines the Tug-of-War with Random Walks…
The objective is the interplay between stochastic processes and partial differential equations. To be more precise, we focus on the connection between the nonlinear p-Laplace equation, and the stochastic game called tug-of-war with noise.…
In this paper we give a broad overview of the intersection of partial differential equations (PDEs) and graph-based semi-supervised learning. The overview is focused on a large body of recent work on PDE continuum limits of graph-based…
This paper establishes a probabilistic representation for the solution of the parabolic obstacle problem associated with the normalized $p$-Laplacian. We introduce a zero-sum stochastic tug-of-war game with noise in a space-time cylinder,…
We present a probabilistic approach to the obstacle problem for for the $p$-Laplace operator. The solutions are approximated by running processes determined by tug-of-war games plus noise, and letting the step size go to zero, not unlike…
We study a tug-of-war game with varying probabilities. In particular, we show that the value of the game is locally asymptotically H\"{o}lder continuous. We also show the existence and uniqueness of values of the game. As an application, we…
In this paper, we study a certain type of noisy tug-of-war game which can be regarded as an interpretation of a certain type of boundary value problem for the normalized $p$-Laplace equation, where $1<p<2$. More precisely, we will…
In this paper we find viscosity solutions to a coupled system composed by two equations, the first one is parabolic and driven by the infinity Laplacian while the second one is elliptic and involves the usual Laplacian. We prove that there…
We introduce a new class of strongly degenerate nonlinear parabolic PDEs $$((p-2)\Delta_{\infty,X}^N+\Delta_X)u(X,Y,t)+(m+p)(X\cdot\nabla_Yu(X,Y,t)-\partial_tu(X,Y,t))=0,$$ $(X,Y,t)\in\mathbb R^m\times \mathbb R^m\times \mathbb R$, $p\in…
This paper concerns value functions of time-dependent tug-of-war games. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of value functions and verify that these game values satisfy a dynamic programming principle. Using the arguments in the…
Motivated by the "tug-of-war" game studied in [12], we consider a "non-local" version of the game which goes as follows: at every step two players pick respectively a direction and then, instead of flipping a coin in order to decide which…
In recent years there has been an increasing interest in whether a mean value property, known to characterize harmonic functions, can be extended in some weak form to solutions of nonlinear equations. This question has been partially…
The paper is concerned with a zero-sum continuous-time stochastic differential game with a dynamics controlled by a Markov process and a terminal payoff. The value function of the original game is estimated using the value function of a…
The theory of mean field games aims at studying deterministic or stochastic differential games (Nash equilibria) as the number of agents tends to infinity. Since very few mean field games have explicit or semi-explicit solutions, numerical…
We give a self-contained and elementary proof for boundedness, existence, and uniqueness of solutions to dynamic programming principles (DPP) for biased tug-of-war games with running costs. The domain we work in is very general, and as a…
