In this manuscript, we propose a structural condition on non-separable Hamiltonians, which we term displacement monotonicity condition, to study second order mean field games master equations.A rate of dissipation of a bilinear form is brought to bear a global (in time) well-posedness theory, based on a-priori uniform Lipschitz estimates on the solution in the measure variable. Displacement monotonicity being sometimes in dichotomy with the widely used Lasry-Lions monotonicity condition, the novelties of this work persist even when restricted to separable Hamiltonians.
We endow the set of probability measures on a weighted graph with a Monge-Kantorovich metric, induced by a function defined on the set of vertices. The graph is assumed to have n vertices and so, the boundary of the probability simplex is an affine (n − 2)chain. Characterizing the geodesics of minimal length which may intersect the boundary, is a challenge we overcome even when the endpoints of the geodesics don't share the same connected components. It is our hope that this work would be a preamble to the theory of Mean Field Games on graphs.
This paper is concerned with existence of viscosity solutions of non-translation invariant nonlocal fully nonlinear equations. We construct a discontinuous viscosity solution of such nonlocal equation by Perron's method. If the equation is uniformly elliptic, we prove the discontinuous viscosity solution is Hölder continuous and thus it is a viscosity solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
