This paper establishes unique solvability of a class of Graphon Mean Field Game equations. The special case of a constant graphon yields the result for the Mean Field Game equations.
The emergence of the graphon theory of large networks and their infinite limits has enabled the formulation of a theory of the centralized control of dynamical systems distributed on asymptotically infinite networks (Gao and Caines, IEEE CDC 2017, 2018). Furthermore, the study of the decentralized control of such systems was initiated in (Caines and Huang, IEEE CDC 2018, 2019), where Graphon Mean Field Games (GMFG) and the GMFG equations were formulated for the analysis of non-cooperative dynamic games on unbounded networks. In that work, existence and uniqueness results were introduced for the GMFG equations, together with an epsilon-Nash theory for GMFG systems which relates infinite population equilibria on infinite networks to finite population equilibria on finite networks. Those results are rigorously established in this paper.
This paper is devoted to the singular perturbation problem for mean field game systems with control on the acceleration. This correspond to a model in which the acceleration cost vanishes. So, we are interested in analyzing the behavior of solutions to the mean field game systems arising from such a problem as the acceleration cost goes to zero. In this case the Hamiltonian fails to be strictly convex and superlinear w.r.t. the momentum variable and this creates new issues in the analysis of the problem. We obtain that the limit problem is the classical mean field game system.
In this paper we model the role of a government of a large population as a mean field optimal control problem. Such control problems are constrainted by a PDE of continuity-type, governing the dynamics of the probability distribution of the agent population. We show the existence of mean field optimal controls both in the stochastic and deterministic setting. We derive rigorously the first order optimality conditions useful for numerical computation of mean field optimal controls. We introduce a novel approximating hierarchy of sub-optimal controls based on a Boltzmann approach, whose computation requires a very moderate numerical complexity with respect to the one of the optimal control. We provide numerical experiments for models in opinion formation comparing the behavior of the control hierarchy.
We derive mean-field equations for a general class of ferromagnetic spin systems with an explicit error bound in finite volumes. The proof is based on a link between the mean-field equation and the free convolution formalism of random matrix theory, which we exploit in terms of a dynamical method. We present three sample applications of our results to Ka{c} interactions, randomly diluted models, and models with an asymptotically vanishing external field.
We formulate and compute a class of mean-field information dynamics based on reaction diffusion equations. Given a class of nonlinear reaction diffusion and entropy type Lyapunov functionals, we study their gradient flow formulations. We write the mean-field metric space formalisms and derive Hamiltonian flows therein. These Hamiltonian flows follow saddle point systems of the proposed mean-field control problems. We apply primal-dual hybrid-gradient algorithms to compute the mean field information dynamics. Several numerical examples are provided.
