We consider stationary viscous Mean-Field Games systems in the case of local, decreasing and unbounded coupling. These systems arise in ergodic mean-field game theory, and describe Nash equilibria of games with a large number of agents…

For a number of important mean field games models, the Hamiltonian is non-local and not additively separable. This means that the distribution of agents appears in the Hamiltonian only in an integral over the whole spatial domain. For mean…

We consider the homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi equations and degenerate Bellman equations in stationary, ergodic, unbounded environments. We prove that, as the microscopic scale tends to zero, the equation averages to a deterministic…

We analyse fully nonlinear second-order mean field games (MFG) with nondifferentiable Hamiltonians, which take the form of a coupled system of a fully nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and a Kolmogorov-Fokker-Planck partial…

We establish interior regularity results for first-order, stationary, local mean-field game (MFG) systems. Specifically, we study solutions of the coupled system consisting of a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation $H(x, Du, m) = 0$ and a…

The paper is concerned with the deterministic limit of mean field games with the nonlocal coupling. It is assumed that the dynamics of mean field games are given by nonlinear Markov processes. This type of games includes stochastic mean…

We study a degenerate second order mean field game (MFG) system in a Hilbert space $H$ which couples a Fokker--Planck equation describing the evolution of probability measures on $H$ with a Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman (HJB) equation for the…

We consider a mean field game describing the limit of a stochastic differential game of $N$-players whose state dynamics are subject to idiosyncratic and common noise and that can be absorbed when they hit a prescribed region of the state…

In order to describe the impact of different geometric structures and constraints for the dynamics of a regular controlled Hamiltonian system, in this paper, we first define a kind of controlled magnetic Hamiltonian (CMH) system, and give a…

In this manuscript, we propose a structural condition on non-separable Hamiltonians, which we term displacement monotonicity condition, to study second order mean field games master equations. A rate of dissipation of a bilinear form is…

First order kinetic mean field games formally describe the Nash equilibria of deterministic differential games where agents control their acceleration, asymptotically in the limit as the number of agents tends to infinity. The known results…

Historically, traffic modelling approaches have taken either a particle-like (microscopic) approach, or a gas-like (meso- or macroscopic) approach. Until recently with the introduction of mean-field games to the controls community, there…
