This paper studies a one-dimensional Mean-Field Planning (MFP) system with a non-local, rank-based coupling. Using a potential formulation, we rewrite the system as an associated scalar partial differential equation. We prove an equivalence…

We analyze an $N+1$-player game and the corresponding mean field game with state space $\{0,1\}$. The transition rate of $j$-th player is the sum of his control $\alpha^j$ plus a minimum jumping rate $\eta$. Instead of working under…

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…
