The theory of mean field games aims at studying deterministic or stochastic differential games (Nash equilibria) as the number of agents tends to infinity. Since very few mean field games have explicit or semi-explicit solutions, numerical…

We show the existence of "mild solutions" for a first-order mean field game of controls under the state constraint that trajectories be confined in a closed and bounded set in euclidean space. This extends the results of Cannarsa and…

The standard solution concept for stochastic games is Markov perfect equilibrium (MPE); however, its computation becomes intractable as the number of players increases. Instead, we consider mean field equilibrium (MFE) that has been…
