Stochastic control and HJB equations

Monotone and second order consistent schemes for the Pucci and Monge-Ampere equations

In [9] we introduce a new strategy for the design of second-order accurate discretiza-tions of non-linear second order operators of Bellman type, which preserves degenerate ellipticity. The approach relies on Selling's formula, a tool from lattice geometry, and is applied to the Pucci and Monge-Ampere equations, discretized on a two dimensional cartesian grid. In the case of the Monge-Ampere equation, our work is related to both the stable formulation and the second order accurate scheme. Numerical experiments illustrate the robustness and the accuracy of the method.

Mean-field games of control

In [3], an existence result for a class of mean field games of controls is provided. In the considered model, the cost functional to be minimized by each agent involves a price depending at a given time on the controls of all agents and a congestion term. The existence of a classical solution is demonstrated with the Leray–Schauder theorem; the proof relies in particular on a priori bounds for the solution, which are obtained with the help of a potential formulation of the problem.
