The stochastic optimal control of many agents is an important problem in various fields. We investigate the problem of partial observations, where the state of each agent is not fully observed and the control must be decided based on noisy…

A stochastic model of excitatory and inhibitory interactions which bears universality traits is introduced and studied. The endogenous component of noise, stemming from finite size corrections, drives robust inter-nodes correlations, that…
