The purpose of this work is to introduce a notion of weak solution to the master equation of a potential mean field game and to prove that existence and uniqueness hold under quite general assumptions. Remarkably, this is achieved without…
Mean Field Games (MFG) have been introduced to tackle games with a large number of competing players. Considering the limit when the number of players is infinite, Nash equilibria are studied by considering the interaction of a typical…
We propose a new approach to mean field games with major and minor players. Our formulation involves a two player game where the optimization of the representative minor player is standard while the major player faces an optimization over…
First, we study the existence of solutions for a class of first order mean field games systems \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{aligned} &H(x,u,Du)=F(x,m(t)),\quad &&x\in M,\ \forall\ t\in[0,T],\\ &\partial_t…
Here, we prove the existence of smooth solutions for mean-field games with a singular mean-field coupling; that is, a coupling in the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of the form $g(m)=-m^{-\alpha}$. We consider stationary and time-dependent…
We show that the long time average of solutions of first order mean field game systems in finite horizon is governed by an ergodic system of mean field game type. The well-posedness of this later system and the uniqueness of the ergodic…
Mean-field games arise in various fields including economics, engineering, and machine learning. They study strategic decision making in large populations where the individuals interact via certain mean-field quantities. The ground metrics…
In this paper we consider a mean field optimal control problem with an aggregation-diffusion constraint, where agents interact through a potential, in the presence of a Gaussian noise term. Our analysis focuses on a PDE system coupling a…
This paper proposes a new mathematical paradigm to analyze discrete-time mean-field games. It is shown that finding Nash equilibrium solutions for a general class of discrete-time mean-field games is equivalent to solving an optimization…
This work is mainly concerned with the so-called limit theory for mean-field games. Adopting the weak formulation paradigm put forward by Carmona and Lacker, we consider a fully non-Markovian setting allowing for drift control and…
We provide an abstract framework for submodular mean field games and identify verifiable sufficient conditions that allow to prove existence and approximation of strong mean field equilibria in models where data may not be continuous with…
In this paper, we investigate the interaction of two populations with a large number of indistinguishable agents. The problem consists in two levels: the interaction between agents of a same population, and the interaction between the two…
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 consider a class of extended mean field games with common noises, where there exists a strictly terminal constraint. We solve the problem by reducing it to an unconstrained control problem by adding a penalized term in the cost…
The standard solution concept for stochastic games is Markov perfect equilibrium (MPE); however, its computation becomes intractable as the number of players increases. Instead, we consider mean field equilibrium (MFE) that has been…
We introduce and analyze a new finite-difference scheme, relying on the theta-method, for solving monotone second-order mean field games. These games consist of a coupled system of the Fokker-Planck and the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation.…
In this paper we propose a high-order numerical scheme for time-dependent mean field games systems. The scheme, which is built by combining Lagrange-Galerkin and semi-Lagrangian techniques, is consistent and stable for large time steps…
