We study dynamic finite-player and mean-field stochastic games within the framework of Markov perfect equilibria (MPE). Our focus is on discrete time and space structures without monotonicity. Unlike their continuous-time analogues,…

In this paper, we study a class of linear-quadratic (LQ) mean field games of controls with common noises and their corresponding $N$-player games. The theory of mean field game of controls considers a class of mean field games where the…

The goal of this paper is to show existence of short-time classical solutions to the so called Master Equation of \emph{first order} Mean Field Games, which can be thought of as the limit of the corresponding master equation of a stochastic…

We study the regularity and well-posedness of the local, first-order forward-backward mean field games system, assuming a polynomially growing cost function and a Hamiltonian of quadratic growth. We consider systems and terminal data that…

We introduce a class of fully nonlinear mean field games posed in $[0,T]\times\mathbb{R}^d$. We justify that they are related to controlled local or nonlocal diffusions, and more generally in our setting, to a new control interpretation…

In a mean field game of controls, players seek to minimize a cost that depends on the joint distribution of players' states and controls. We consider an ergodic problem for second-order mean field games of controls with state constraints,…
