We analyze a posteriori error bounds for stabilized finite element discretizations of second-order steady-state mean field games. We prove the local equivalence between the $H^1$-norm of the error and the dual norm of the residual. We then…

In this paper, we prove the existence of classical solutions for time dependent mean-field games with a logarithmic nonlinearity and subquadratic Hamiltonians. Because the logarithm is unbounded from below, this nonlinearity poses…

Mean field games models describing the limit of a large class of stochastic differential games, as the number of players goes to $+\infty$, have been introduced by J.-M. Lasry and P.-L. Lions. We use a change of variables to transform the…

In this paper we consider extended stationary mean field games, that is mean-field games which depend on the velocity field of the players. We prove various a-priori estimates which generalize the results for quasi-variational mean field…

We consider the one-dimensional stationary first-order mean-field game (MFG) system with the coupling between the Hamilton-Jacobi equation and the transport equation. In both cases that the coupling is strictly increasing and decreasing…

For a number of important mean field games models, the Hamiltonian is non-local and not additively separable. This means that the distribution of agents appears in the Hamiltonian only in an integral over the whole spatial domain. For mean…

We investigate time-dependent mean-field games with superquadratic Hamiltonians and a power dependence on the measure. Such problems pose substantial mathematical challenges as the key techniques used in the subquadratic case do not extend…
