The primary objective of this paper is to understand first-order, time-dependent mean-field games with Neumann boundary conditions, a question that remains under-explored in the literature. This matter is particularly relevant given the…

We study mean field games with scalar It{\^o}-type dynamics and costs that are submodular with respect to a suitable order relation on the state and measure space. The submodularity assumption has a number of interesting consequences.…

We show that the quasi-stationary states observed in the $N$-particle dynamics of the Hamiltonian Mean-Field (HMF) model are nothing but Vlasov stable homogeneous (zero magnetization) states. There is an infinity of Vlasov stable…

We prove homogenization for possibly degenerate viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations with a Hamiltonian of the form $G(p)+V(x,\omega)$, where $G$ is a quasiconvex, locally Lipschitz function with superlinear growth, the potential $V(x,\omega)$…

We study the numerical approximation of time-dependent, possibly degenerate, second-order Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations in bounded domains with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. It is well known that convergence towards the…

We study the local in time existence of a regular solution of a nonlinear parabolic backward-forward system arising from the theory of Mean-Field Games (briefly MFG). The proof is based on a contraction argument in a suitable space that…

We consider a class of linear-quadratic-Gaussian mean-field games with a major agent and considerable heterogeneous minor agents in the presence of mean-field interactions. The individual admissible controls are constrained in closed convex…

We provide an existence result for stationary fractional mean field game systems, with fractional exponent greater than 1/2. In the case in which the coupling is a nonlocal regularizing potential, we obtain existence of solutions under…

We establish an existence of equilibrium result for a class of non-Markovian mean-field games with unbounded control space in weak formulation. Our result is based on new existence and stability results for quadratic-growth generalized…

We discuss and compare two methods of investigations for the asymptotic regime of stochastic differential games with a finite number of players as the number of players tends to the infinity. These two methods differ in the order in which…

This paper establishes a primal-dual formulation for continuous-time mean field games (MFGs) and provides a complete analytical characterization of the set of all Nash equilibria (NEs). We first show that for any given mean field flow, the…

We analyze a system of partial differential equations that model a potential mean field game of controls, briefly MFGC. Such a game describes the interaction of infinitely many negligible players competing to optimize a personal value…

In this article, we study a simplified version of a density-dependent first-order mean field game, in which the players face a penalization equal to the population density at their final position. We consider the problem of finding an…
