[图书][B] Probabilistic theory of mean field games with applications I-II

R Carmona, F Delarue - 2018 - Springer
The lion's share of this chapter is devoted to the construction of equilibria for mean field
games with a common noise. We develop a general two-step strategy for the search of weak …

In this paper, we deepen the analysis of continuous time Fictitious Play learning algorithm to
the consideration of various finite state Mean Field Game settings (finite horizon, $\gamma …

Mean field games

PE Caines - Encyclopedia of systems and control, 2021 - Springer
The notion of the infinite population limit of large population games where agents are
realized by controlled stochastic dynamical systems is introduced. The theory of infinite …

Mean field game of controls and an application to trade crowding

P Cardaliaguet, CA Lehalle - Mathematics and Financial Economics, 2018 - Springer
In this paper we formulate the now classical problem of optimal liquidation (or optimal
trading) inside a mean field game (MFG). This is a noticeable change since usually …

Mean field games with common noise

R Carmona, F Delarue, D Lacker - 2016 - projecteuclid.org
A theory of existence and uniqueness is developed for general stochastic differential mean
field games with common noise. The concepts of strong and weak solutions are introduced …

Convergence analysis of machine learning algorithms for the numerical solution of mean field control and games: II—the finite horizon case

R Carmona, M Laurière - The Annals of Applied Probability, 2022 - projecteuclid.org
We propose two numerical methods for the optimal control of McKean–Vlasov dynamics in
finite time horizon. Both methods are based on the introduction of a suitable loss function …

Scalable deep reinforcement learning algorithms for mean field games

M Laurière, S Perrin, S Girgin, P Muller… - International …, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
Abstract Mean Field Games (MFGs) have been introduced to efficiently approximate games
with very large populations of strategic agents. Recently, the question of learning equilibria …

[图书][B] Lectures on BSDEs, stochastic control, and stochastic differential games with financial applications

R Carmona - 2016 - SIAM
This book grew out of the lecture notes I prepared for a graduate class I taught at Princeton
University in 2011–12, and again in 2012–13. My goal was to introduce the students to …

Dynamic programming for optimal control of stochastic McKean--Vlasov dynamics

H Pham, X Wei - SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2017 - SIAM
We study optimal control of the general stochastic McKean--Vlasov equation. Such a
problem is motivated originally from the asymptotic formulation of cooperative equilibrium for …
