An iterative finite difference scheme for mean field games (MFGs) is proposed. The target MFGs are derived from control problems for multidimensional systems with advection terms. For such MFGs, linearization using the Cole-Hopf…

The purpose of this work is to introduce a notion of weak solution to the master equation of a potential mean field game and to prove that existence and uniqueness hold under quite general assumptions. Remarkably, this is achieved without…

This paper is concerned with a linear quadratic stochastic Stackelberg differential game with time delay. The model is general, in which the state delay and the control delay both appear in the state equation, moreover, they both enter into…
