Mean field games models describing the limit of a large class of stochastic differential games, as the number of players goes to $+\infty$, have been introduced by J.-M. Lasry and P.-L. Lions. We use a change of variables to transform the…

We consider a class of extended mean field games with common noises, where there exists a strictly terminal constraint. We solve the problem by reducing it to an unconstrained control problem by adding a penalized term in the cost…
