A Variational Approach to Mean Field Type Control

Alain Bensoussan, Ziyu Huang, Sheung Chi Phillip Yam

Variational methods have been used to study stochastic control for long, see Bensoussan (1982) and Bensoussan-Lions (1978) for the early works. More precisely, variational approach…

On Convergence Rates of General -Player Stackelberg Games to their Mean Field Limits

Alain Bensoussan, Ziyu Huang, Sheng Wang +1

In this article, we establish precise convergence rates of a general class of -Player Stackelberg games to their mean field limits, which allows the response time delay of infor…

Mean Field Type Control Problems Driven by Jump-diffusions

Alain Bensoussan, Ziyu Huang, Shanjian Tang +1

In this article, we apply a probabilistic approach to study general mean field type control (MFTC) problems with jump-diffusions, and give the first global-in-time solution. We all…

On Mean Field Monotonicity Conditions from Control Theoretical Perspective

Alain Bensoussan, Ziyu Huang, Shanjian Tang +1

In this article, from the viewpoint of control theory, we discuss the relationships among the commonly used monotonicity conditions that ensure the well-posedness of the solutions…

A Class of Degenerate Mean Field Games, Associated FBSDEs and Master Equations

Alain Bensoussan, Ziyu Huang, Shanjian Tang +1

In this paper, we study a class of degenerate mean field games (MFGs) with state-distribution dependent and unbounded functional diffusion coefficients. With a probabilistic method…

A Control Theoretical Approach to Mean Field Games and Associated Master Equations

Alain Bensoussan, Ho Man Tai, Tak Kwong Wong +1

We prove the global-in-time well-posedness for a broad class of mean field game problems, which is beyond the special linear-quadratic setting, as long as the mean field sensitivit…

Mathematical formulation of a dynamical system with dry friction subjected to external forces

A. Bensoussan, A. Brouste, F. B. Cartiaux +2

We consider the response of a one-dimensional system with friction. S.W. Shaw (Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1986) introduced the set up of different coefficients for the static…
