Analysis of a finite state many player game using its master equation

E Bayraktar, A Cohen - SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2018 - SIAM
We consider an n-player symmetric stochastic game with weak interactions between the
players. Time is continuous, and the horizon and the number of states are finite. We show …

Numerical method for FBSDEs of McKean–Vlasov type

This paper is dedicated to the presentation and the analysis of a numerical scheme for
forward–backward SDEs of the McKean–Vlasov type, or equivalently for solutions to PDEs …

J Dianetti, G Ferrari, M Fischer… - … of Operations Research, 2023 - pubsonline.informs.org
We provide an abstract framework for submodular mean field games and identify verifiable
sufficient conditions that allow us to prove the existence and approximation of strong mean …

A numerical scheme for a mean field game in some queueing systems based on Markov chain approximation method

E Bayraktar, A Budhiraja, A Cohen - SIAM Journal on Control and …, 2018 - SIAM
We use the Markov chain approximation method to construct approximations for the solution
of the mean field game (MFG) with reflecting barriers studied in E. Bayraktar, A. Budhiraja …

Large tournament games

E Bayraktar, J Cvitanić, Y Zhang - 2019 - projecteuclid.org
We consider a stochastic tournament game in which each player is rewarded based on her
rank in terms of the completion time of her own task and is subject to cost of effort. When …

Mean field games with singular controls of bounded velocity

X Guo, JS Lee - Available at SSRN 2932277, 2017 - papers.ssrn.com
This paper studies a class of mean field games (MFGs) with singular controls of bounded
velocity. By relaxing the absolute continuity of the control process, it generalizes the MFG …

Invariance principle and McKean-Vlasov limit for randomized load balancing in heavy traffic

R Atar, G Wolansky - arXiv preprint arXiv:2402.18143, 2024 - arxiv.org
We consider a load balancing model where a Poisson stream of jobs arrive at a system of
many servers whose service time distribution possesses a finite second moment. A small …

Many-Server Queueing Systems with Heterogeneous Strategic Servers in Heavy Traffic

B Büke, G Reis, V Platonov - arXiv preprint arXiv:2211.04158, 2022 - arxiv.org
In most service systems, the servers are humans who desire to experience a certain level of
idleness. In call centers, this manifests itself as the call avoidance behavior, where servers …

C Sun - 2024 - deepblue.lib.umich.edu
Stochastic processes play a pivotal role in modeling across various domains, including
finance, biology, queueing systems, and networks. This thesis delves into several theoretical …

Problems in Mean Field Games and Mean Field Control

N Mimikos-Stamatopoulos - 2024 - search.proquest.com
This thesis studies various problems that arise in the study of Mean Field Games and Mean
Field Control. First we prove that a hypoelliptic MFG system with local-coupling is well …
