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,…

Analytical Approach to Continuous-Time Causal Optimal Transport

Julio Backhoff, Erhan Bayraktar, Ibrahim Ekren +1

We study causal optimal transport in continuous time, with Markovian cost, between a finite-state Markov source and a diffusion target. By replacing the source with its conditional…

Uniform-in-time weak propagation of chaos for consensus-based optimization

Erhan Bayraktar, Ibrahim Ekren, Hongyi Zhou

We study the uniform-in-time weak propagation of chaos for the consensus-based optimization (CBO) method on a bounded searching domain. We apply the methodology for studying long-t…

Viscosity Solutions of Fully second-order HJB Equations in the Wasserstein Space

Erhan Bayraktar, Hang Cheung, Ibrahim Ekren +3

In this paper, we show that the value functions of mean field control problems with common noise are the unique viscosity solutions to fully second-order Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman eq…

Neural Operators Can Play Dynamic Stackelberg Games

Guillermo Alvarez, Ibrahim Ekren, Anastasis Kratsios +1

Dynamic Stackelberg games are a broad class of two-player games in which the leader acts first, and the follower chooses a response strategy to the leader's strategy. Unfortunately…
