Abstract

MFGs where the Hamilton–Jacobi equation depends on the distribution of players in a non-local way make up an important group of problems. In many examples, this dependence is given by regularizing convolution operators. We split the discussion of non-local problems into two cases. First, we consider first-order MFGs. Here, semiconcavity bounds and the optimal control characterization of the Hamilton–Jacobi equation are the main tools. Next, we examine second-order MFGs. Here, the regularizing effects of parabolic equations and the L 2 stability of the Fokker–Planck equation are the main ingredients of the proof.
