A total variation flow scheme for ergodic mean field games

Mathematics > Optimization and Control [Submitted on 11 Nov 2024 (v1), last revised 16 Jun 2026 (this version, v2)] Title:A total variation flow scheme for ergodic mean field games View PDF HTML (experimental)Abstract:Motivated by recent developments in mean field games in ecology, in this paper we introduce a connection between the best response dynamics in evolutionary game theory, the minimization of the highest income of a game, and minimizing movement schemes. The aim of this work is to develop a variational approach to compute solutions of first order ergodic mean field games that may not possess a priori a variational structure. The study is complemented by a discussion and successful implementation of numerical algorithms, and comparisons between them in a variety of cases.
