Recent techniques based on Mean Field Games (MFGs) allow the scalable analysis of multi-player games with many similar, rational agents. However, standard MFGs remain limited to homogeneous players that weakly influence each other, and…

In this paper, we consider a mean field game (MFG) model perturbed by small common noise. Our goal is to give an approximation of the Nash equilibrium strategy of this game using a solution from the original no common noise MFG whose…

Mean field games (MFGs) model the limit of large populations of strategically interacting agents, yet both forward and inverse problems remain challenging. For the forward problem, a difficulty is to design numerical methods with global…

Inverse problems lend themselves naturally to a Bayesian formulation, in which the quantity of interest is a posterior distribution of state and/or parameters given some uncertain observations. For the common case in which the forward…

A previous study analyzed the convergence of probability densities for forward and inverse problems when a sequence of approximate maps between model inputs and outputs converges in $L^\infty$. This work generalizes the analysis to cases…

In the present work, we study deterministic mean field games (MFGs) with finite time horizon in which the dynamics of a generic agent is controlled by the acceleration. They are described by a system of PDEs coupling a continuity equation…
