Kullback-Leibler Mirror-Prox for Measure-Valued Variational Inequalities and Mean-Field Equilibria

Erhan Bayraktar, Ibrahim Ekren, Lu Vy +1

We study the computation of static mean-field equilibria on a compact state space by formulating the equilibrium condition as a variational inequality over probability measures. We…

Quantitative Particle Approximation for Controlled Nonlinear Filtering

Erhan Bayraktar, Ibrahim Ekren, Xihao He +1

We estimate convergence rates of value functions for particle approximations of a controlled nonlinear filtering problem. The state is a McKean--Vlasov diffusion on the flat torus,…

A comparison principle for Wasserstein PDEs with state- and law-dependent common noise

Erhan Bayraktar, Ibrahim Ekren, Xihao He +1

We prove a comparison principle for a class of second-order Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman equations on the Wasserstein space whose second-order term is generated by a general common-no…

Contracting a crowd of heterogeneous agents

Guillermo Alonso Alvarez, Erhan Bayraktar, Ibrahim Ekren

We study optimal contract design for large populations of heterogeneous agents whose actions generate network spillovers represented by an interaction function. In a linear-quadrat…

Uniform-in-time propagation of chaos for consensus-based minimax algorithm

Erhan Bayraktar, Zhiyan Ding, Ibrahim Ekren +1

We study the large-population convergence of a consensus-based algorithm for the saddle point problem proposed by ArXiv: 2212.12334, establishing the uniform-in-time propagation of…

Comparison for semi-continuous viscosity solutions for second order PDEs on the Wasserstein space

Erhan Bayraktar, Ibrahim Ekren, Xihao He +1

In this paper, we prove a comparison result for semi-continuous viscosity solutions of a class of second-order PDEs in the Wasserstein space. This allows us to remove the Lipschitz…
