Equilibrium for Time-inconsistent Mean Field Games: A Systematic Analysis by Entropy Regularization

Erhan Bayraktar, Zhenhua Wang, Xiang Yu +1

This paper studies the existence and approximation of equilibria for general time-inconsistent mean field game (MFG) problems in continuous time. To handle the intricate nonlocal e…

Policy Iteration for Exploratory Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman Equations

Hung Vinh Tran, Zhenhua Wang, Yuming Paul Zhang

We study the policy iteration algorithm (PIA) for entropy-regularized stochastic control problems on an infinite time horizon with a large discount rate, focusing on two main scena…

Moderate Deviation Principle for Join-The-Shortest-Queue-d Systems

Zhenhua Wang, Ruoyu Wu

The Join-the-Shortest-Queue-d routing policy is considered for a large system with servers. Moderate deviation principles (MDP) for the occupancy process and the empirical queu…

Binomial-tree approximation for time-inconsistent stopping

Erhan Bayraktar, Zhenhua Wang, Zhou Zhou

For time-inconsistent stopping in a one-dimensional diffusion setup, we investigate how to use discrete-time models to approximate the original problem. In particular, we consider…

Convergence of Policy Iteration for Entropy-Regularized Stochastic Control Problems

Yu-Jui Huang, Zhenhua Wang, Zhou Zhou

For a general entropy-regularized stochastic control problem on an infinite horizon, we prove that a policy iteration algorithm (PIA) converges to an optimal relaxed control. Contr…

Relaxed Equilibria for Time-Inconsistent Markov Decision Processes

Erhan Bayraktar, Yu-Jui Huang, Zhenhua Wang +1

This paper considers an infinite-horizon Markov decision process (MDP) that allows for general non-exponential discount functions, in both discrete and continuous time. Due to the…
