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 study an ergodic mean field game problem with state constraints. In our model the agents are affected by idiosyncratic noise and use a (singular) feedback control to prevent the Brownian motion from exiting the domain. We characterize…

Cournot competition is a fundamental economic model that represents firms competing in a single market of a homogeneous good. Each firm tries to maximize its utility---a function of the production cost as well as market price of the…

In this paper, we consider a mean field game model inspired by crowd motion where agents aim to reach a closed set, called target set, in minimal time. Congestion phenomena are modeled through a constraint on the velocity of an agent that…

We extend the weak-strong uniqueness principle for mean-field game (MFG) systems to a broad class of second-order stationary and time-dependent problems. Under standard monotonicity, growth, and coercivity assumptions on the Hamiltonian,…

This paper develops a linear programming approach for mean field games with reflected jump-diffusion dynamics. We first prove the equivalence between the mean field equilibria in the linear programming formulation and those in the weak…

We study the problem of the existence, uniqueness and stability of solutions of reflected stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with a minimality condition depending on the law of the solution (and not on the paths). We require that some…
