This paper is devoted to finite horizon deterministic mean field games in which the state space is a network. The agents control their velocity, and when they occupy a vertex, they can enter into any incident edge. The running and terminal…

We study the behavior of solutions to the first-order mean field games system with a local coupling, when the initial density is a compactly supported function on the real line. Our results show that the solution is smooth in regions where…

We study a dynamic game with a large population of players who choose actions from a finite set in continuous time. Each player has a state in a finite state space that evolves stochastically with their actions. A player's reward depends…

We consider variational Mean Field Games endowed with a constraint on the maximal density of the distribution of players. Minimizers of the variational formulation are equilibria for a game where both the running cost and the final cost of…

In this paper we study mean field games with possibly multiple mean field equilibria. Instead of focusing on the individual equilibria, we propose to study the set of values over all possible equilibria, which we call the set value of the…

Mean-field games (MFGs) are models for large populations of competing rational agents that seek to optimize a suitable functional. In the case of congestion, this functional takes into account the difficulty of moving in high-density areas.…

We study the convergence problem for mean field games with common noise and controlled volatility. We adopt the strategy recently put forth by Lauri\`ere and the second author, using the maximum principle to recast the convergence problem…

Here, we prove the existence of solutions to first-order mean-field games (MFGs) arising in optimal switching. First, we use the penalization method to construct approximate solutions. Then, we prove uniform estimates for the penalized…

We study an ergodic mean field game problem with state constraints. In our model the agents are affected by idiosyncratic noise and use a (singular) feedback control to prevent the Brownian motion from exiting the domain. We characterize…
