We consider the optimal control of solutions of first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations, where the Hamiltonian is convex with linear growth. This models the problem of steering the propagation of a front by constructing an obstacle. We prove…

In this paper, we consider a class of infinitely degenerate partial differential systems to obtain the Nash equilibria in the mean field games. The degeneracy in the diffusion and the Hamiltonian may be different. This feature brings…

We propose a new viewpoint on variational mean-field games with diffusion and quadratic Hamiltonian. We show the equivalence of such mean-field games with a relative entropy minimization at the level of probabilities on curves. We also…

We study minimax (generalized) solutions of a Cauchy problem for a (first-order) path-dependent Hamilton--Jacobi equation with co-invariant derivatives under a right-end boundary condition. Under assumptions on the Hamiltonian that are more…

First order kinetic mean field games formally describe the Nash equilibria of deterministic differential games where agents control their acceleration, asymptotically in the limit as the number of agents tends to infinity. The known results…

In this note we prove the uniqueness of solutions to a class of Mean Field Games systems subject to possibly degenerate individual noise. Our results hold true for arbitrary long time horizons and for general non-separable Hamiltonians that…

We address the numerical approximation of Mean Field Games with local couplings. For power-like Hamiltonians, we consider both unconstrained and constrained stationary systems with density constraints in order to model hard congestion…

We establish a convergence theorem for the vanishing discount problem for a weakly coupled system of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. The crucial step is the introduction of Mather measures and their relatives for the system, which we call…
