We consider the problem of representing collective behavior of large populations and predicting the evolution of a population distribution over a discrete state space. A discrete time mean field game (MFG) is motivated as an interpretable model founded on game theory for understanding the aggregate effect of individual actions and predicting the temporal evolution of population distributions. W...

This paper shows that the kernel fragment of Esterel corresponding to combinational circuits admits a natural game–theoretic interpretation. Technically, combinational Esterel programs are mapped into finite two–player games in such a way that the standard must– and cannot–analysis of signal statuses is reflected in the computation of winning strategies. The novel game–theoretic approach comple...
