The literature on continuous-time stochastic optimal control seldom deals with the case of discrete state spaces. In this paper, we provide a general framework for the optimal control of continuous-time Markov chains on finite graphs. In…
Mean-Field Games are games with a continuum of players that incorporate the time-dimension through a control-theoretic approach. Recently, simpler approaches relying on the Best Reply Strategy have been proposed. They assume that the agents…
The theory of mean field games studies the limiting behaviors of large systems where the agents interact with each other in a certain symmetric way. The running and terminal costs are critical for the agents to decide the strategies.…
This paper presents recent results from Mean Field Game theory underlying the introduction of common noise that imposes to incorporate the distribution of the agents as a state variable. Starting from the usual mean field games equations…
We consider deterministic mean field games where the dynamics of a typical agent is non-linear with respect to the state variable and affine with respect to the control variable. Particular instances of the problem considered here are mean…
In a probabilistic mean field game driven by a L\'evy process an individual player aims to minimize a long run discounted/ergodic cost by controlling the process through a pair of increasing and decreasing c\`adl\`ag processes, while he is…
We explore a mechanism of decision-making in Mean Field Games with myopic players. At each instant, agents set a strategy which optimizes their expected future cost by assuming their environment as immutable. As the system evolves, the…
The paper studies the convergence, as $N$ tends to infinity, of a system of $N$ coupled Hamilton-Jacobi equations, the Nash system. This system arises in differential game theory. We describe the limit problem in terms of the so-called…
We argue that Hamilton-Jacobi equations provide a convenient and intuitive approach for studying the large-scale behavior of mean-field disordered systems. This point of view is illustrated on the problem of inference of a rank-one matrix.…
This paper considers a mean field game model inspired by crowd motion where agents want to leave a given bounded domain through a part of its boundary in minimal time. Each agent is free to move in any direction, but their maximal speed is…
Main objects of the paper are stationary and weak KAM Hamilton-Jacobi equations on the finite-dimensional torus. The key idea of the paper is to replace the underlying calculus of variations problems with continuous time Markov decision…
We investigate game-theoretic properties of selection principles related to weaker forms of the Menger and Rothberger properties. For appropriate spaces some of these selection principles are characterized in terms of a corresponding game.…
The goal of this paper is to show existence of short-time classical solutions to the so called Master Equation of \emph{first order} Mean Field Games, which can be thought of as the limit of the corresponding master equation of a stochastic…
We consider finite horizon stochastic mean field games in which the state space is a network. They are described by a system coupling a backward in time Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and a forward in time Fokker-Planck equation. The…
In this article we consider finite Mean Field Games (MFGs), i.e. with finite time and finite states. We adopt the framework introduced in Gomes Mohr and Souza in 2010, and study two seemly unexplored subjects. In the first one, we analyze…
We study the singular perturbation problem for mean field game systems with control of acceleration. For such a problem we analyze the behavior of solutions as the acceleration costs vanishes. In this setting the Hamiltonian fails to be…
We study mean field games and corresponding $N$-player games in continuous time over a finite time horizon where the position of each agent belongs to a finite state space. As opposed to previous works on finite state mean field games, we…
This paper represents the first attempt to develop a theory for linear-quadratic mean field games in possibly infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. As a starting point, we study the case, considered in most finite dimensional contributions…

We investigate time-dependent mean-field games with superquadratic Hamiltonians and a power dependence on the measure. Such problems pose substantial mathematical challenges as the key techniques used in the subquadratic case do not extend…
