Risk-Sensitive Mean-Field Stochastic Differential Games

چکیده
In this paper, we study a class of risk-sensitive mean-field stochastic differential games. Under regularity assumptions, we use results from standard risk-sensitive differential game theory to show that the mean-field value of the exponentiated cost functional coincides with the value function of a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Fleming (HJBF) equation with an additional quadratic term. We provide an explicit solution of the mean-field best response when the instantaneous cost functions are log-quadratic and the state dynamics are affine in the control. An equivalent mean-field risk-neutral problem is formulated and the corresponding mean-field equilibria are characterized in terms of backward-forward macroscopic McKean-Vlasov equations, FokkerPlanck-Kolmogorov equations and HJBF equations.

Risk Sensitive Stochastic Control and Differential Games
We give a concise introduction to risk sensitive control of Markov diffusion processes and related two-controller, zero-sum differential games. The method of dynamic programming for the risk sensitive control problem leads to a nonlinear partial differential equation of HamiltonJacobi-Bellman type. In the totally risk sensitive limit, this becomes the Isaacs equation for the differential game. ...
متن کاملNoisy mean field stochastic games with network applications
We consider a class of stochastic games with finite number of resource states, individual states and actions per states. At each stage, a random set of players interact. The states and the actions of all the interacting players determine together the instantaneous payoffs and the transitions to the next states. We study the convergence of the stochastic game with variable set of interacting pla...
متن کاملRisk-Sensitive Mean-Field-Type Games with Lp-norm Drifts
We study how risk-sensitive players act in situations where the outcome is influenced not only by the state-action profile but also by the distribution of it. In such interactive decision-making problems, the classical mean-field game framework does not apply. We depart from most of the mean-field games literature by presuming that a decision-maker may include its own-state distribution in its ...
متن کاملLarge-scale games in large-scale systems
Many real-world problems modeled by stochastic games have huge state and/or action spaces, leading to the well-known curse of dimensionality. The complexity of the analysis of large-scale systems is dramatically reduced by exploiting mean field limit and dynamical system viewpoints. Under regularity assumptions and specific time-scaling techniques, the evolution of the mean field limit can be e...
متن کاملOn the Solvability of Risk-Sensitive Linear-Quadratic Mean-Field Games
In this paper we formulate and solve a mean-field game described by a linear stochastic dynamics and a quadratic or exponential-quadratic cost functional for each generic player. The optimal strategies for the players are given explicitly using a simple and direct method based on square completion and a Girsanov-type change of measure, suggested in Duncan et al. in e.g. [3, 4] for the mean-fiel...
