Epidemic Control using Stackelberg Mean Field Game with Budget Constraint

Huaning Liu, Gokce Dayanikli

Epidemic mitigation comes with a price in practice, and when budget is limited, its effective allocation becomes an important question on public policy. In this paper, we study epi…

Inverse Learning of the Altruism and Cost Level in Mixed-Individual Mean Field Games

Haoyang Cao, Gökçe Dayanıklı, Xiaofei Shi

Understanding how humans respond to incentives, both at the individual and collective levels, is crucial to the design of effective policies. Within the continuous-time stochastic…

Extended Graphon Mean-Field Games in Discrete Time

Hamed Amini, Zhongyuan Cao, Gökçe Dayanıklı +3

In this paper, we study games involving a continuum of heterogeneous players in the discrete-time setting with finite state spaces and continuous action spaces. We introduce a new…

Regulation of Rumor Propagation via (Multi-Leader) Stackelberg Graphon Games

Huaning Liu, Gokce Dayanikli

We study the control of rumor propagation in large networked populations by using Stackelberg graphon games. We first introduce a principal who wants to incentivize the spread of h…

Incorporating Authority Perception, Economic Status, and Behavioral Response in Infectious Disease Control

Huaning Liu, Junke Yang, Soren L. Larsen +2

We introduce a multi-population mean field game framework to examine how economic status and authority perception shape vaccination and social distancing decisions under different…

A Game-Theoretic Framework for Network Formation in Large Populations

Gokce Dayanikli, Mathieu Lauriere

In this paper, we study a model of network formation in large populations. Each agent can choose the strength of interaction (i.e. connection) with other agents to find a Nash equi…

Cooperation, Competition, and Common Pool Resources in Mean Field Games

Gokce Dayanikli, Mathieu Lauriere

Mean field games (MFGs) have been introduced to study Nash equilibria in very large population of self-interested agents. However, when applied to common pool resource (CPR) games,…

Modeling of Rumor Propagation in Large Populations with Network via Graphon Games

Huaning Liu, Gokce Dayanikli

In this paper, we propose a graphon game model to understand how rumor (such as fake news) propagates in large populations that are interacting on a network and how different polic…

How can the tragedy of the commons be prevented?: Introducing Linear Quadratic Mixed Mean Field Games

Gokce Dayanikli, Mathieu Lauriere

In a regular mean field game (MFG), the agents are assumed to be insignificant, they do not realize their effect on the population level and this may result in a phenomenon coined…

Machine Learning Methods for Large Population Games with Applications in Operations Research

Gokce Dayanikli, Mathieu Lauriere

In this tutorial, we provide an introduction to machine learning methods for finding Nash equilibria in games with large number of agents. These types of problems are important for…

From Nash Equilibrium to Social Optimum and vice versa: a Mean Field Perspective

Rene Carmona, Gokce Dayanikli, Francois Delarue +1

Mean field games (MFG) and mean field control (MFC) problems have been introduced to study large populations of strategic players. They correspond respectively to non-cooperative o…

Multi-population Mean Field Games with Multiple Major Players: Application to Carbon Emission Regulations

Gokce Dayanikli, Mathieu Lauriere

In this paper, we propose and study a mean field game model with multiple populations of minor players and multiple major players, motivated by applications to the regulation of ca…

Deep Learning for Population-Dependent Controls in Mean Field Control Problems with Common Noise

Gokce Dayanikli, Mathieu Lauriere, Jiacheng Zhang

In this paper, we propose several approaches to learn the optimal population-dependent controls in order to solve mean field control problems (MFC). Such policies enable us to solv…
