We consider the variational structure of a time-fractional second order Mean Field Games (MFG) system with local coupling. The MFG system consists of time-fractional Fokker-Planck and Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. In such a situation…

In this paper we study second order master equations arising from mean field games with common noise over arbitrary time duration. A classical solution typically requires the monotonicity condition (or small time duration) and sufficiently…

Recent techniques based on Mean Field Games (MFGs) allow the scalable analysis of multi-player games with many similar, rational agents. However, standard MFGs remain limited to homogeneous players that weakly influence each other, and…

The mean field limit of large-population symmetric stochastic differential games is derived in a general setting, with and without common noise, on a finite time horizon. Minimal assumptions are imposed on equilibrium strategies, which may…

The weak-strong uniqueness of solutions to a broad class of cross-diffusion systems with volume filling is established. In general, the diffusion matrices are neither symmetric nor positive definite. This issue is overcome by supposing that…

We look at the long time behavior of potential Mean Field Games (briefly MFG) using some standard tools from weak KAM theory. We first show that the time-dependent minimization problem converges to an ergodic constant $-\lambda$, then we…
