Mean Field Games and Mean Field Type Control Theory (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

¿Mean field games and Mean field type control introduce new problems in Control Theory. The terminology "games" may be confusing. In fact they are control problems, in the sense that one is interested in a single decision maker, whom we can call the representative agent. However, these problems are not standard, since both the evolution of the state and the objective functional is influenced but terms which are not directly related to the state or the control of the decision maker. They are however, indirectly related to him, in the sense that they model a very large community of agents similar to the representative agent. All the agents behave similarly and impact the representative agent. However, because of the large number an aggregation effect takes place. The interesting consequence is that the impact of the community can be modeled by a mean field term, but when this is done, the problem is reduced to a control problem. ¿

Rezensionen

From the book reviews:
"This brief monograph is a presentation of some aspects of MFG theory and of a related class of problems, called mean field type control, where the state of the control system is driven by a McKean-Vlasov equation, namely, a stochastic differential equation where the drift depends also on the distribution of the state itself. ... I believe the book should be mandatory reading for all mathematicians and engineers working in the field of MFG and related topics." (Martino Bardi, Mathematical Reviews, November, 2014)
