We study the mean-field limit for a class of agent-based models describing flocking with nonlinear velocity alignment. Each agent interacts through a communication protocol $\phi$ and a non-linear coupling of velocities given by the power…
We investigate mean field game systems under invariance conditions for the state space, otherwise called {\it viability conditions} for the controlled dynamics. First we analyze separately the Hamilton-Jacobi and the Fokker-Planck…

A stochastic treatment yielding to the derivation of a general Fokker-Planck equation is presented to model the slow convergence towards equilibrium of mean-field systems due to finite-N effects. The thermalization process involves notably…
We study high-dimensional stochastic optimal control problems in which many agents cooperate to minimize a convex cost functional. We consider both the full-information problem, in which each agent observes the states of all other agents,…
In this paper, we examine the stationary relaxed singular control problem within a multi-dimensional framework for a single agent, as well as its mean field game equivalent. We demonstrate that optimal relaxed controls exist for two problem…
We consider a control problem for the nonlinear stochastic Fokker--Planck equation. This equation describes the evolution of the distribution of nonlocally interacting particles affected by a common source of noise. The system is directed…
In this paper, we study the generalized mean-field stochastic control problem when the usual stochastic maximum principle (SMP) is not applicable due to the singularity of the Hamiltonian function. In this case, we derive a second order…
Our work is devoted to the study of Pontryagin's stochastic maximum principle for a mean-field optimal control problem under Peng's $G$-expectation. The dynamics of the controlled state process is given by a stochastic differential equation…

The goal of this book is to present new mathematical techniques for studying the behaviour of mean-field systems with disordered interactions. We mostly focus on certain problems of statistical inference in high dimension, and on spin…
This paper studies social optima and Nash games for mean field linear quadratic control systems, where subsystems are coupled via dynamics and individual costs. For the social control problem, we first obtain a set of forward-backward…

We consider a variant of the classical linear quadratic Gaussian regulator (LQG) in which penalties on the endpoint state are replaced by the specification of the terminal state distribution. The resulting theory considerably differs from…
We study optimal control for mean-field forward backward stochastic differential equations with payoff functionals of mean-field type. Sufficient and necessary optimality conditions in terms of a stochastic maximum principle are derived. As…
We study a class of deterministic mean field games and related optimal control problems, with a finite time horizon and in which the state space is a network. An agent controls her velocity, and, when she occupies a vertex, she can either…
