This paper is concerned with extending the notion of monotone solution to the mean field game (MFG) master equation to situations in which the coefficients are displacement monotone, instead of the previously introduced notion in the flat…
Mean field games model equilibria in games with a continuum of players as limiting systems of symmetric $n$-player games with weak interaction between the players. We consider a finite-state, infinite-horizon problem with two cost criteria:…
We establish existence of nearly-optimal controls, conditions for existence of an optimal control and a saddle-point for respectively a control problem and zero-sum differential game associated with payoff functionals of mean-field type,…
We investigate the global numerical approximation of a class of extended mean field control problems (MFC), where the dynamics and costs depend on the joint distribution of the state and the control. We propose a framework to approximate…
In this work, we consider a novel inverse problem in mean-field games (MFG). We aim to recover the MFG model parameters that govern the underlying interactions among the population based on a limited set of noisy partial observations of the…
The objective of the present paper is to investigate the solution of fully coupled mean-field forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs in short) and to study the stochastic control problems of mean-field type as well as…
We consider stochastic mean field games for which the state space is a network. In the ergodic case, they are described by a system coupling a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and a Fokker-Planck equation, whose unknowns are the invariant…
This manuscript discusses planning problems for first- and second-order one-dimensional mean-field games (MFGs). These games are comprised of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation coupled with a Fokker-Planck equation. Applying Poincar\'e's Lemma to…
We study Nash equilibria for a sequence of symmetric $N$-player stochastic games of finite-fuel capacity expansion with singular controls and their mean-field game (MFG) counterpart. We construct a solution of the MFG via a simple iterative…
For two classes of Mean Field Game systems we study the convergence of solutions as the interest rate in the cost functional becomes very large, modeling agents caring only about a very short time-horizon, and the cost of the control…
We study a general class of entropy-regularized multi-variate LQG mean field games (MFGs) in continuous time with $K$ distinct sub-population of agents. We extend the notion of actions to action distributions (exploratory actions), and…
This paper revisits the well-studied \emph{optimal stopping} problem but within the \emph{large-population} framework. In particular, two classes of optimal stopping problems are formulated by taking into account the \emph{relative…
In this paper, we consider a class of linear quadratic extended mean field games (MFGs) with common noises where the state coefficients and the cost functional vary with the mean field term in a nonlinear way. Based on stochastic maximum…
We study ergodic quadratic optimal stochastic control problems for an affine state equation with state and control dependent noise and with stochastic coefficients. We assume stationarity of the coefficients and a finite cost condition. We…
The standard formulation of the PDE system of Mean Field Games (MFG) requires the differentiability of the Hamiltonian. However in many cases, the structure of the underlying optimal problem leads to a convex but nondifferentiable…
We establish existence of Markov chains of mean-field type with unbounded jump intensities by means of a fixed point argument using the Total Variation distance. We further show existence of nearly-optimal controls and, using a Markov chain…
In this paper we study mean field games with possibly multiple mean field equilibria. Instead of focusing on the individual equilibria, we propose to study the set of values over all possible equilibria, which we call the set value of the…
We study the regularity and long time behavior of the one-dimensional, local, first-order mean field games system and the planning problem, assuming a Hamiltonian of superlinear growth, with a non-separated, strictly monotone dependence on…
We study an ergodic singular control problem with constraint of a regular one-dimensional linear diffusion. The constraint allows the agent to control the diffusion only at jump times of independent Poisson process. Under relatively weak…
We consider the control of McKean-Vlasov dynamics whose coefficients have mean field interactions in the state and control. We show that for a class of linear-convex mean field control problems, the unique optimal open-loop control admits…
