We study a high-dimensional stochastic optimization problem which features both control and stopping. In particular, a central planner steers a large population of particles, and can also remove particles at any time by paying a penalty. In…

We study the convergence problem for mean field control, also known as optimal control of McKean-Vlasov dynamics. We assume that the data is smooth but not convex, and thus the limiting value function $\mathcal{U} :[0,T] \times…
