We explore a mechanism of decision-making in Mean Field Games with myopic players. At each instant, agents set a strategy which optimizes their expected future cost by assuming their environment as immutable. As the system evolves, the…

We consider an autonomous navigation problem, whereby a traveler aims at traversing an environment in which an adversary tries to set an ambush. A two players zero sum game is introduced. Players' strategies are computed as random path…

We address the problem of existence and (non-)uniqueness of solutions $\big(c,u(\cdot),\mu\big)$ to ergodic mean-field games in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ with unbounded and merely measurable data, and for non-separable Hamiltonian.…
