Mészáros, Alpár Richárd. „Density constraints in optimal transport, PDEs and mean field games“. Thesis, Paris 11, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA112155/document.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleMotivated by some questions raised by F. Santambrogio, this thesis is devoted to the study of Mean Field Games and models involving optimal transport with density constraints. To study second order MFG models in the spirit of the work of F. Santambrogio, as a possible first step we introduce and show the well-posedness of a diffusive crowd motion model with density constraints (generalizing in some sense the works by B. Maury et al.). The model is described by the evolution of the people's density, that can be seen as a curve in the Wasserstein space. From the PDE point of view, this corresponds to a modified Fokker-Planck equation, with an additional gradient of a pressure (only living in the saturated zone) in the drift. We provide a uniqueness result for the pair density and pressure by passing through the dual equation and using some well-known parabolic estimates. Initially motivated by the splitting algorithm (used for the above existence result), we study some fine properties of the Wasserstein projection below a given threshold. Embedding this question into a larger class of variational problems involving optimal transport, we show BV estimates for the optimizers. Other possible applications (for partial optimal transport, shape optimization and degenerate parabolic problems) of these BV estimates are also discussed.Changing the point of view, we also study variational Mean Field Game models with density constraints. In this sense, the MFG systems are obtained as first order optimality conditions of two convex problems in duality. In these systems an additional term appears, interpreted as a price to be paid when agents pass through saturated zones. Firstly, profiting from the regularity results of elliptic PDEs, we give the existence and characterization of the solutions of stationary second order MFGs with density constraints. As a byproduct we characterize the subdifferential of a convex functional introduced initially by Benamou-Brenier to give a dynamic formulation of the optimal transport problem. Secondly, (based on a penalization technique) we prove the well-posedness of a class of first order evolutive MFG systems with density constraints. An unexpected connection with the incompressible Euler's equations à la Brenier is also given

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe central object of this thesis is a system of particles moving on the real line and subject to branching and selection rules, called N-branching Markov process, which generalizes the N-branching Brownian motion studied by Maillard, by allowing more general trajectories for the particles. Our main results establish under certain regularity assumptions the existence of a hydrodynamic limit for this particle system, which is the c.d.f. of the distribution of the underlying process conditioned on not having crossed a certain boundary, characterized as the solution of an inverse first-passage time problem. The proof relies on a coupling with auxiliary processes, constructed by exploiting an assumption of stochastic monotonicity on the underlying process. In parallel, we consider the mean field optimal transport problem with a numerical point of view. We develop three deep learning methods to obtain approximate solutions, implemented on various test cases, illustrating the effectiveness of the proposed approaches

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleA wealth of mathematical tools allowing to model and analyse multi-agent systems has been brought forth as a consequence of recent developments in optimal transport theory. In this thesis, we extend for the first time several of these concepts to the framework of control theory. We prove several results on this topic, including Pontryagin optimality necessary conditions in Wasserstein spaces, intrinsic regularity properties of optimal solutions, sufficient conditions for different kinds of pattern formation, and an auxiliary result pertaining to singularity arrangements in Sub-Riemannian geometry
Capuani, Rossana. „Mean Field Games with State Constraints“. Thesis, Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PSLED006.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe aim of this Thesis is to study deterministic mean field games with state constraints. Mean field games (MFG) is a recent theory invented by Lasry and Lions which studies optimization problems with large populations of agents in a dynamical framework. The mathematical analysis of such problems has so far focused on situations where the agents can evolve in the whole space. In practice, however, the agents often have constraints on their state. The aim of this Thesis is to understand the consequence of such constraints on the analysis of mean field games. We first show that the Nash MFG equilibria can be described as fixed points on the space of measures on constrained trajectories (generalized MFG equilibria). In order to obtain more precise results on these equilibria, we show a smooth optimality principle for the optimal trajectories of control problem with state constraints. We derive from this that the generalized equilibria satisfy a MFG system in which the Hamilton-Jacobi equation and the continuity equation have to be understand in a specific sense

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleFinansiella bubblor är ett fenomen som har påverkat marknader sedan 1600-talet. Bubblor tenderar att skapas när marknaden kraftigt övervärderar en tillgång vilket orsakar en hyperbolisk tillväxt i marknadspriset. Detta följs av en plötslig kollaps. Därför är det viktigt för investerare att kunna minska sin exponering mot aktier som befinner sig i en bubbla, så att risken för stora plötsliga förluster reduceras. Således är portföljoptimering där aktiedynamiken tar hänsyn till bubblor av högt intresse för marknadsdeltagare. Portföljoptimering med avseende på medelfältet är ett relativt nytt tillvägagångssätt för att behandla bubbelfenomen. Av denna anledning undersöks i detta arbete en hittills oprövad lösningsmetod som möjliggör en medelfältslösning till avvägningen mellan förväntad avkastning och risk. Där-utöver presenteras även ett antal nya modeller för aktier som kan bortleda investerare från bubblor.

Thesis, Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2019. https://portail.bu.dauphine.fr/fileviewer/index.php?doc=2019PSLED042.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis thesis presents models and methodologies to understand the control of systemic risk in large systems. We propose two approaches. The first one is structural : a financial system is represented as a network of institutions. They have strategic interactions as well as direct interactions through linkages in a contagion process. The novelty of our approach is that these two types of interactions are intertwined themselves and we propose new notions of equilibria for such games and analyze the systemic risk emerging in equilibrium. The second approach is a reduced form.We model the dynamics of regulatory capital using a mean field operator : required capital depends on the standalone risk but also on the evolution of the capital of all other banks in the system. In this model, required capital is a dynamic risk measure and is represented as a the solution of a mean-field BDSE with jumps. We show a novel dual representation theorem. In the context of meanfield BSDEs the representation gives yield to a stochastic discount factor and a worst-case probability measure that encompasses the overall interactions in the system. We also solve the optimal stopping problem of dynamic risk measure by connecting it to the solution of reflected meanfield BSDE with jumps. Finally, We provide a comprehensive model for the order book dynamics and optimal Market making strategy appeared in liquidity risk problems

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis thesis is related to Doubly Reflected Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (DRBSDEs) with two obstacles and their applications in zero-sum stochastic switching games, systems of partial differential equations, mean-field problems.There are two parts in this thesis. The first part deals with optimal stochastic switching and is composed of two works. In the first work we prove the existence of the solution of a system of DRBSDEs with bilateral interconnected obstacles in a probabilistic framework. This problem is related to a zero-sum switching game. Then we tackle the problem of the uniqueness of the solution. Finally, we apply the obtained results and prove that, without the usual monotonicity condition, the associated PDE system has a unique solution in viscosity sense. In the second work, we also consider a system of DRBSDEs with bilateral interconnected obstacles in the markovian framework. The difference between this work and the first one lies in the fact that switching does not work in the same way. In this second framework, when switching is operated, the system is put in the following state regardless of which player decides to switch. This difference is fundamental and largely complicates the problem of the existence of the solution of the system. Nevertheless, in the Markovian framework we show this existence and give a uniqueness result by the Perron’s method. Later on, two particular switching games are analyzed.In the second part we study a one-dimensional Reflected BSDE with two obstacles of mean-field type. By the fixed point method, we show the existence and uniqueness of the solution in connection with the integrality of the data

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleMean Field Game (MFG) systems describe equilibrium configurations in differential games with infinitely many infinitesimal interacting agents. This thesis is articulated around three different contributions to the theory of Mean Field Games. The main purpose is to explore the power of this theory as a modeling tool in various fields, and to propose original approaches to deal with the underlying mathematical questions. The first chapter presents the key concepts and ideas that we use throughout the thesis: we introduce the MFG problem, and we briefly explain the asymptotic link with N-Player differential games when N → ∞. Next we present our main results and contributions, that are explained more in details in the subsequent chapters. In Chapter 2, we explore a Mean Field Game model with myopic agents. In contrast to the classical MFG models, we consider less rational agents which do not anticipate the evolution of the environment, but only observe the current state of the system, undergo changes and take actions accordingly. We analyze the resulting system of coupled PDEs and provide a rigorous derivation of that system from N-Player stochastic differential games models. Next, we show that our population of agents can self-organize and converge exponentially fast to the well-known ergodic MFG equilibrium. Chapters 3 and 4 deal with a MFG model in which producers compete to sell an exhaustible resource such as oil, coal, natural gas, or minerals. In Chapter 3, we propose an alternative approach based on a variational method to formulate the MFG problem, and we explore the deterministic limit (without fluctuations of demand) in a regime where re- sources are renewable or abundant. In Chapter 4 we address the rigorous link between the Cournot MFG model and the N-Player Cournot competition when N is large. In Chapter 5, we introduce a MFG model for the optimal execution of a multi-asset portfolio. We start by formulating the MFG problem, then we compute the optimal execution strategy for a given investor knowing her/his initial inventory and we carry out several simulations. Next, we analyze the influence of the trading activity on the observed intra-day pattern of the covariance matrix of returns and we apply our results in an empirical analysis on a pool of 176 US stocks
Leutscher, de las Nieves Marcos. „Contributions to the linear programming approach for mean field games and its applications to electricity markets“. Electronic Thesis or Diss., Institut polytechnique de Paris, 2022. http://www.theses.fr/2022IPPAG010.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis thesis presents three main contributions related to the linear programming approach for mean field games (MFGs).The first part of the thesis is concerned with the theoretical aspects of MFGs allowing simultaneously for optimal stopping, stochastic control and absorption. Using the linear programming formulation for this type of MFGs, a general existence result for MFG Nash equilibria is derived under mild assumptions by means of Kakutani-Fan-Glicksberg's fixed point theorem. This relaxation method is shown to be equivalent to the controlled/stopped martingale approach for MFGs, another relaxation method used in earlier papers in the pure control case. Furthermore, under appropriate conditions, we show that our notion of solution satisfies a partial differential equation (PDE) system, allowing to compare our results with the PDE literature.The second part focuses on a numerical algorithm for approximating the MFG Nash equilibrium taking advantage of the linear programming approach. The convergence of this algorithm is shown for two classes of MFG, MFGs with optimal stopping and absorption, and MFGs with stochastic control and absorption. The numerical scheme belongs to the class of learning procedures. In particular, we apply the Fictitious Play algorithm where the best response at each iteration is computed by solving a linear programming problem.The last part of the thesis deals with an application of MFGs to the long term dynamics of the electricity industry. Different macroeconomic and climate policy scenarios are possible for the coming years, and the exact scenario remains uncertain. Therefore, conventional or renewable producers aiming to exit or enter the market, respectively, are facing uncertainty about the future carbon price and climate policies. Both classes of producers interact through the electricity market price. Nash equilibrium strategies over stopping times are considered and the problem is analyzed through a MFG model. To this end, we develop the linear programming approach for MFGs of optimal stopping with common noise and partial information in discrete time. We show the existence of an MFG Nash equilibrium and the uniqueness of the equilibrium market price. Finally, we extend the numerical algorithm developed in the second part of the thesis to illustrate the model with an empirical example inspired by the UK electricity market
Fu, Guanxing. „Maximum Principle for Reflected BSPDE and Mean Field Game Theory with Applications“. Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/19248.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe thesis is concerned with two topics: backward stochastic partial differential equations and mean filed games. In the first part, we establish a maximum principle for quasi-linear reflected backward stochastic partial differential equations (RBSPDEs) on a general domain by using a stochastic version of De Giorgi’s iteration. The maximum principle for RBSPDEs on a bounded domain and the maximum principle for BSPDEs on a general domain are obtained as byproducts. Finally, the local behavior of the weak solutions is considered. In the second part, we first establish the existence of equilibria to mean field games (MFGs) with singular controls. We also prove that the solutions to MFGs with no terminal cost and no cost from singular controls can be approximated by the solutions, respectively control rules, for MFGs with purely regular controls. Our existence and approximation results strongly hinge on the use of the Skorokhod M1 topology on the space of càdlàg functions. Subsequently, we consider an MFG of optimal portfolio liquidation under asymmetric information. We prove that the solution to the MFG can be characterized in terms of a forward backward stochastic differential equation (FBSDE) with possibly singular terminal condition on the backward component or, equivalently, in terms of an FBSDE with finite terminal value, yet singular driver. We apply the fixed point argument to prove the existence and uniqueness on a short time horizon in a weighted space. Our existence and uniqueness result allows to prove that our MFG can be approximated by a sequence of MFGs without state constraint. The final result of the second part is a leader follower MFG with terminal constraint arising from optimal portfolio liquidation between hierarchical agents. We show the problems for both follower and leader reduce to the solvability of singular FBSDEs, which can be solved by a modified approach of the previous result.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIn this PhD dissertation, we use tools from stochastic optimal control, stochastic optimization and convex optimization to design mechanisms to control energy storage systems, to deal with the challenges created by the uncertain production of intermittent energy sources. First, we introduce a commitment mechanism where an individual consumer chooses a consumption profile, then controls its storage devices to track in real-time this profile. We formulate a Mean-Field Control problem to model this situation, for which we establish theoretic and numerical results. Second, we introduce a control problem for a large population of Thermostatically Controlled Loads (TCLs) subject to a common noise and providing ancillary services to the grid. We show that the centralized control problem can be replaced by a stochastic Stackelberg differential game with minimal information-sharing. This allows for a decentralized control scheme with performance guarantees, while preserving privacy of consumers and limiting telecommunication requirements. We then develop a Newton method for stochastic control problems. We show that the computation of the Newton step reduces to solving Backward Stochastic Differential Equations, then we design an appropriate line-search procedure and prove global convergence of the Newton method with line-search in an appropriate space. Its performance is illustrated on a problem of control of a large number of batteries providing services to the grid. Last, a multi-stage stochastic Alternating Current Optimal Power Flow problem is formulated in order to control a power network equipped with energy storage systems. A priori conditions ensuring a vanishing relaxation gap are derived and an easily computable a posteriori bound on the relaxation gap of the problem is given. Using Shapley-Folkman-type results, a priori bounds on the duality gap of non-convex multi-stage stochastic problems with a generic structure are derived

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis thesis generalizes optimal transport beyond the classical "balanced" setting of probability distributions. We define unbalanced optimal transport models between nonnegative measures, based either on the notion of interpolation or the notion of coupling of measures. We show relationships between these approaches. One of the outcomes of this framework is a generalization of the p-Wasserstein metrics. Secondly, we build numerical methods to solve interpolation and coupling-based models. We study, in particular, a new family of scaling algorithms that generalize Sinkhorn's algorithm. The third part deals with applications. It contains a theoretical and numerical study of a Hele-Shaw type gradient flow in the space of nonnegative measures. It also adresses the case of measures taking values in the cone of positive semi-definite matrices, for which we introduce a model that achieves a balance between geometrical accuracy and algorithmic efficiency

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe goal of the PhD will be to implement a similar mean field approach to handle MARL. This idea was investigated, at least for individual agents, in several recent papers. In all of them, not only Mean field approach to MARL (Multi Agent Reinforcement Learning) does the mean field approach allow for a significant decrease of complexity, but it also provides distributed (or decentralized) solutions, which are of a very convenient use in practice. Numerical implementation using either on-or off-policy learning is discussed in the literature. The first part of the thesis will consist in revisiting the former works from a mathematical point of view. In particular, this will ask for a careful stability analysis addressing both the passage from a finite to an infinite system of agents and the use of approximated (instead of exact) policies. We may expect monotonicity to play a key role in the overall analysis; another, but more prospective, direction is to discuss the influence of a stochastic environment onto the behavior of the algorithms themselves. Another part of the thesis will be dedicated to the cooperative case the analysis of which will rely upon mean field control theory. Potential structures may allow to make the connection between individual and cooperative cases. The connection between the two may indeed play an important role for incentive design or, equivalently, for mimicking a cooperative system with individual agents. In this regard, connection with distributional reinforcement learning, may be an interesting question as well

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleWe consider Mc Kean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations (SDEs), which are SDEs where the drift and diffusion coefficients depend not only on the state of the unknown process but also on its probability distribution. These SDEs called also mean- field SDEs were first studied in statistical physics and represent in some sense the average behavior of an infinite number of particles. Recently there has been a renewed interest for this kind of equations in the context of mean-field game theory. Since the pioneering papers by P.L. Lions and J.M. Lasry, mean-field games and mean-field control theory has raised a lot of interest, motivated by applications to various fields such as game theory, mathematical finance, communications networks and management of oil resources. In this thesis, we studied questions of stability with respect to initial data, coefficients and driving processes of Mc Kean-Vlasov equations. Generic properties for this type of SDEs, such as existence and uniqueness, stability with respect to parameters, have been investigated. In control theory, our attention were focused on existence, approximation of relaxed controls for controlled Mc Kean-Vlasov SDEs
Bassou, Leila. „Optimal control methods for systemic risk“. Electronic Thesis or Diss., Institut polytechnique de Paris, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024IPPAX041.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis thesis is dedicated to the study of cross-holding game's Nash equilibria in various frameworks. The related model, which was introduced by M-F. Djete & N. Touzi in 2020, aims to capture the interdependence between differenteconomic agents by taking into account, on the one hand, the mutual holding of sharesbetween the entities, and on the other hand, their incomes that can be correlated.- The first part is devoted to the finite population game within the framework of the exponential utility criterion. In the static and dynamic settings under gaussian Bachelier type dynamic, we completely characterize the Nash equilibria and their existence conditions.- The second part is dedicated to the one-period mean field game with common noise (the revenues are correlated), by considering the mean-variance criterion. The formulation of the problem reveals a No-arbitrage condition. In this framework, we characterized explicitly this condition, as well as the mean field equilibria.- In the third part, we extended the study of the mean-field game, with common noise, to the continuous time setting. Here, the problem reveals a weak notion of No-arbitrage condition. The characterization of this condition reduces the analysis of the mean field equilibria to the classical problem of optimal portfolio with random endowment
Phung, Thu. „Études numériques du magnétisme et du transport dans des dispositifs nanoscopiques de graphène“. Thesis, Cergy-Pontoise, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019CERG1048.
Der volle Inhalt der Quelle2D materials are attracting attention from a big research community in solid-state physics because of a large number of applications. Among these materials 'graphene' has been at the focus of attention ever since its experimental realization as a single layer of carbon atoms in 2004 as an alternative to silicon due to its many unusual properties. Honeycomb nanostructures such as quantum dots constitute fundamental building blocks for potential device applications. Essential ingredients of such nanostructures are provided by the edges since they give rise to low-energy excitations. Accordingly, such edge channels will dominate the transport of a nano-device. Furthermore, zigzag edges are unstable with respect to interactions such that one may get magnetism at these edges even if for example bulk graphene is non-magnetic. The combination of both factors bears promise for spintronic applications.The current work contributes to the theoretical understanding of the aforementioned phenomena. Concretely, we use a single-band Hubbard model with an on-site Coulomb interaction combined with the mean-field theory in order to compute the magnetic and transport properties of graphene nanoflakes. Previous investigations have shown that a mean-field decoupling of the interaction yields surprisingly accurate answers even for dynamical properties. At a technical level, once a static mean-field has been determined self-consistently, the problem is reduced to non-interacting electrons. A first part of this thesis revisits the Hartree-Fock mean-field approximation for bulk graphene to study the impact of electron-electron interaction with and without spin-orbit coupling and concurrently assess its accuracy by comparing with other numerical methods. The gapless semi-metal (for zero spin-orbit coupling) and the topological band insulator (for nonzero spin-orbit coupling) are stable for weak to intermediate electron-electron interaction, and undergo a transition to an antiferromagnetic phase at strong interaction. The antiferromagnetic order is of the Néel type without spin-orbit coupling, and of the easy-plane type with spin-orbit coupling. The systematic investigation of magnetism on graphenenanoflakes is the second part of the present work when ignoring the spin-orbit coupling. The onset of the edge magnetic moment strictly depends on the size of the graphene nanoflakes, the geometry and the edge termination. Herein, the origin of the magnetism on the edges of graphene nanoflakes is attributed to the localized edge states in zigzag edges which vanish in armchair edges. A final part of the dissertation investigates spin-resolved transport properties depending on the thermal bias, typically the transport of charge carriers via spin-up and spin-down channels, in a magnetic hexagonal graphene nanoflake connected with two metallic leads. As a temperature difference is applied, significant spin-up and spin-down currents, which are computed using the non-equilibrium Green’s Function technique combined with the mean-field theory, flow in opposite directions through the graphene nanoflakes. This is the consequence of the imbalance of charge carrier concentrations, which is determined by the Fermi-Dirac distribution at the two leads, and transmission spectra. Furthermore, our calculations show that a perfect spin-Seebeck effect, a purespin current without charge current, a high spin-filtering effect as well as the amplification of spin current can be obtained by tuning the temperature at the leads, the temperature gradient and the back-gate voltage. These results pave the way for new application potential of the graphene nanoflakes in the field of spin caloritronics

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleMasoero, Marco. „On the long time behavior of potential MFG“. Thesis, Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PSLED057.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe purpose of this thesis is to shed some light on the long time behavior of potential Mean Field Games (MFG), regardless of the convexity of the minimization problem associated. For finite dimensional Hamiltonian systems, problems of the same nature have been addressed through the so-called weak KAM theory. We transpose many results of this theory in the infinite dimensional context of potential MFG. First, we characterize through an ergodic approximation the limit value associated to time dependent MFG systems. We provide explicit examples where this value is strictly greater than the energy level of stationary solutions of the ergodic MFG system. This implies that optimal trajectories of time dependent MFG systems cannot converge to stationary configurations. Then, we prove the convergence of the minimization problem associated to time dependent MFGs to a solution of the critical Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the space of probability measures. In addition, we show a mean field limit for the ergodic constant associated with the corresponding finite dimensional Hamilton-Jacobi equation. In the last part we characterize the limit of the infinite horizon discounted minimization problem that we use for the ergodic approximation in the first part of the manuscript
Fernandez, Montero Alejandro. „Champ moyen local et transport de l’énergie dans des systèmes hors équilibre“. Thesis, Institut polytechnique de Paris, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020IPPAX044.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleChains of oscillator systems enable to model microscopically a solid, in order to study energy transport and prove Fourier’s law. In this thesis, we introduce two new models of chains of oscillators with local mean field mechanical interaction and stochastic collisions that preserve the system’s total energy. The first model is a model with stochastic velocity exchanges of Kac type. The second one is a model with random flips of velocities, where the sign of the particles’ velocities is changed at random times.As we consider local mean field models, particles are not indistinguishable, and the conservative stochastic exchanges in our first model are an additional difficulty for the proof of a Vlasov limit. We first derive a quantitative mean field limit, that we then use to prove that energy evolves diffusively at a given timescale for the model with long-range exchanges and for a restricted class of anharmonic potentials. At the same timescale, we also prove that there is no evolution of energy for the model with flips of velocities.For harmonic interactions, we then compute thermal conductivity via Green-Kubo formula for both models, to highlight that the timescale at which energy evolves for the model with velocity flips is longer and therefore that the mechanisms at play for energy transport are different
Dao, Manh-Khang. „Équation de Hamilton-Jacobi et jeux à champ moyen sur les réseaux“. Thesis, Rennes 1, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018REN1S042/document.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe dissertation focuses on the study of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations associated with optimal control problems and mean field games problems in the case when the state space is a network. Different dynamics and running costs are allowed in each edge of the network. In the first part of this thesis, we consider an optimal control on networks in the spirit of the works of Achdou, Camilli, Cutrì & Tchou (2013) and Imbert, Monneau & Zidani (2013). The main new feature is that there are entry (or exit) costs at the edges of the network leading to a possible discontinuous value function. The value function is characterized as the unique viscosity solution of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation for which an adequate junction condition is established. The uniqueness is a consequence of a comparison principle for which we give two different proofs. One uses some arguments from the theory of optimal control and is inspired by Achdou, Oudet & Tchou (2015). The other one is based on partial differential equations techniques and is inspired by a recent work of Lions & Souganidis (2017). The second part is about stochastic mean field games for which the state space is a network. In the ergodic case, they are described by a system coupling a Hamilton- Jacobi-Bellman equation and a Fokker-Planck equation, whose unknowns are the density m of the invariant measure which represents the distribution of the players, the value function v which comes from an "average" optimal control problem and the ergodic constant ρ. The function v is continuous and satisfies general Kirchhoff conditions at the vertices. The density m satisfies dual transmission conditions. In particular, due to the generality of Kirchhoff’s conditions, m is in general discontinuous at the vertices. Existence and uniqueness are proven for subquadratic Hamiltonian and very general assumptions about the coupling term. Finally, in the last part, we study non-stationary stochastic mean field games on networks. The transition conditions for value function v and the density m are similar to the ones given in second part. Here again, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution for sublinear Hamiltonian and bounded non-local regularizing coupling term. The main additional difficulty compared to the stationary case, which imposes us more restrictive hypotheses, is to establish the regularity of the solutions of the system placed on a network. Our approach is to study the solution of the derived Hamilton-Jacobi equation to gain regularity over the initial equation

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleMean Field Games (MFG) are a class of differential games in which each agent is infinitesimal and interacts with a huge population of other agents. In this thesis, we raise the question of the actual formation of the MFG equilibrium. Indeed, the game being quite involved, it is unrealistic to assume that the agents can compute the equilibrium configuration. This seems to indicate that, if the equilibrium configuration arises, it is because the agents have learned how to play the game. Hence the main question is to find learning procedures in mean field games and investigating if they converge to an equilibrium. We have inspired from the learning schemes in static games and tried to apply them to our dynamical model of MFG. We especially focus on fictitious play and online mirror descent applications on different types of mean field games; those are either Potential, Monotone or Discrete

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe purpose of the theory of mean field games is to study a class of differential games (deterministic or stochastic) with a large number of agents. Since very few mean field games admit explicit solutions, numerical methods play an essential role in describing quantitatively, and also qualitatively, the associated Nash equilibria. This thesis is focused on numerical techniques to solve several types of mean field game problems
Duran, Santiago. „Resource allocation with observable and unobservable environments“. Thesis, Toulouse 3, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020TOU30018.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis thesis studies resource allocation problems in large-scale stochastic networks. We work on problems where the availability of resources is subject to time fluctuations, a situation that one may encounter, for example, in load balancing systems or in wireless downlink scheduling systems. The time fluctuations are modelled considering two types of processes, controllable processes, whose evolution depends on the action of the decision maker, and environment processes, whose evolution is exogenous. The stochastic evolution of the controllable process depends on the the current state of the environment. Depending on whether the decision maker observes the state of the environment, we say that the environment is observable or unobservable. The mathematical formulation used is the Markov Decision Processes (MDPs).The thesis follows three main research axes. In the first problem we study the optimal control of a Multi-armed restless bandit problem (MARBP) with an unobservable environment. The objective is to characterise the optimal policy for the controllable process in spite of the fact that the environment cannot be observed. We consider the large-scale asymptotic regime in which the number of bandits and the speed of the environment both tend to infinity. In our main result we establish that a set of priority policies is asymptotically optimal. We show that, in particular, this set includes Whittle index policy of a system whose parameters are averaged over the stationary behaviour of the environment. In the second problem, we consider an MARBP with an observable environment. The objective is to leverage information on the environment to derive an optimal policy for the controllable process. Assuming that the technical condition of indexability holds, we develop an algorithm to compute Whittle's index. We then apply this result to the particular case of a queue with abandonments. We prove indexability, and we provide closed-form expressions of Whittle's index. In the third problem we consider a model of a large-scale storage system, where there are files distributed across a set of nodes. Each node breaks down following a law that depends on the load it handles. Whenever a node breaks down, all the files it had are reallocated to other nodes. We study the evolution of the load of a single node in the mean-field regime, when the number of nodes and files grow large. We prove the existence of the process in the mean-field regime. We further show the convergence in distribution of the load in steady state as the average number of files per node tends to infinity

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis thesis propose a mathematical analysis of the vaccination strategies.The first part introduces the mathematical framework, in particular the Susceptible – Infected – Recovered compartmental model.The second part introduces the optimal control tools used to find an optimal vaccination strategy from the societal point of view, which is a minimizer of the societal cost. We show that the associated value function can have a less regularity than what was assumed in the literature. These results are then applied to the vaccination against the whooping cough.The third part defines a model where the cost is defined at the level of the individual. We rephrase this problem as a Nash equilibrium and compare this results with the societal strategy. An application to the Influenza A(H1N1) 2009-10 indicates the presence of inhomogeneous perceptions concerning the vaccination risks.The fourth and last part proposes a direct numerical implementation of the different strategies

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe recent developments achieved by tri-dimensionals magnetohydrodynamic (3D-MHD) global simulations of solar convection allow us to generate an organized large-scale magnetic fields with well-synchronized hemispheric polarity reversal. Because the vast majority of these simulations do not include a modelization of the Sun's surface layer, the generation of their dynamo is thus solely due to the action of the turbulent electromotive force (EMF) in conjunction with differential rotation. From this EMF, different methods can be used to extract the turbulent transport coefficients. In particular, various authors found a full 9 component alpha-tensor (first order coefficients) where all the components are of the same order of magnitude. This finding calls into question the alphaOmega approximation made by the vast majority of mean field dynamo models. We generalized a first order (alpha-tensor) singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis procedure to extract the 18 additional components of the second order tensor (beta-tensor). The alpha and beta tensors obtained by this new procedure as applied to the EULAG-MHD outputs, are similar to the equivalent alpha and beta tensors obtained using the second order correlation approximation (SOCA). By introducing the first order turbulent transport coefficients in a mean field dynamo model, we study the magnetic solutions where double dynamo modes were observed. This analysis allows us to compare the mean field dynamo solutions produced with the EMF, as extracted from EULAG-MHD, with the real magnetic output of EULAG-MHD. This proof of concept demonstrated that the quasi-biennal oscillation observed in the surface toroidal magnetic field in EULAG-MHD can be produced by the inductive action of a secondary dynamo. A similar quasi-biennal oscillation signal is also observed in multiple proxies of the solar activity whose origin is still not confirmed. Although the physical set of properties under which the two numerical models described above operate are different from the Sun, the fact that both models can reproduce a secondary dynamo shows us that the inductive action of the EMF can easily produce two dynamos. Finally, in order to study epochs of grand minima that still cannot be reproduced in global 3D-MHD simulations of convection, we added a magnetic feedback on the mean azimutal flow in our kinematic mean field model. This non-kinematic alpha2Omega model was able to reproduce the tendency of the Prandtl number (Pm) to control the ratio of the modulation period. More specifically, we found an inverse relation between Pm and the ratio of the main magnetic cycle period to the grand minima occurrence period. Moreover, by analyzing a simulation of a length of 50,000 years, where aperiodic periods of grand minima and maxima are observed, we found a waiting time distribution (WTD) of the grand minima close to an exponential, a characteristic also observed in the reconstruction of the solar activity. Finally, the level of fluctuation in the surface differential rotation associated with epochs of grand minima is ~1%. This level of fluctuation was also observed in historical reconstructions of the surface differential rotation during the Maunder minimum.
