Classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations enable modeling of materials and examination of microscopic details that are not accessible experimentally. The predictive capability of MD relies on the force field (FF) used to describe…

In this article we consider finite Mean Field Games (MFGs), i.e. with finite time and finite states. We adopt the framework introduced in Gomes Mohr and Souza in 2010, and study two seemly unexplored subjects. In the first one, we analyze…
