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…

Control and optimization for Neural Partial Differential Equations in Supervised Learning

Alain Bensoussan, Minh-Binh Tran, Bangjie Wang

Although there is a substantial body of literature on control and optimization problems for parabolic and hyperbolic systems, the specific problem of controlling and optimizing the…

Second Order Fully Nonlinear Mean Field Games with Degenerate Diffusions

Alain Bensoussan, Ziyu Huang, Shanjian Tang +1

In this article, we study the global-in-time well-posedness of second order mean field games (MFGs) with both nonlinear drift functions simultaneously depending on the state, distr…

Control on Hilbert Space and Mean Field Control: the Common Noise Case

Alain Bensoussan, P. Jameson Graber, Phillip Yam

The objective of this paper is to provide an equivalent of the theory developed in P.~Cardaliaguet, F.~Delarue, J.M.~Lasry, P.L.~Lions \cite{CDLL}, following the approach of contro…

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…

Global Well-Posedness of First-Order Mean Field Games and Master Equations with Nonlinear Dynamics

Alain Bensoussan, Tak Kwong Wong, Sheung Chi Phillip Yam +1

This article presents the variant of the approach introduced in the recent work of Bensoussan, Wong, Yam and Yuan [13] to the generic first-order mean field game problem. A major c…

Linear Quadratic Extended Mean Field Games and Control Problems

Alain Bensoussan, Bohan Li, Sheung Chi Phillip Yam

We provide a thorough study of a general class of linear-quadratic extended mean field games and control problems in any dimensions where the mean field terms are allowed to be unb…

Maximum Principle for Mean Field Type Control Problems with General Volatility Functions

Alain Bensoussan, Ziyu Huang, Sheung Chi Phillip Yam

In this paper, we study the maximum principle of mean field type control problems when the volatility function depends on the state and its measure and also the control, by using o…

Control Problem on Space of Random Variables and Master Equation

Alain Bensoussan, Phillip Yam

We study in this paper a control problem in a space of random variables. We show that its Hamilton Jacobi Bellman equation is related to the Master equation in Mean field theory. P…

Mean Field Games with a Dominating Player

Alain Bensoussan, Michael Chau, Phillip Yam

In this article, we consider mean field games between a dominating player and a group of representative agents, each of which acts similarly and also interacts with each other thro…
