This volume provides an introduction to the theory of Mean Field Games,
suggested by J.-M. Lasry and P.-L. Lions in 2006 as a mean-field model
for Nash equilibria in the strategic interaction of a large number of
agents.
Besides giving an accessible presentation of the main features of
mean-field game theory, the volume offers an overview of recent
developments which explore several important directions: from partial
differential equations to stochastic analysis, from the calculus of
variations to modeling and aspects related to numerical methods. Arising
from the CIME Summer School "Mean Field Games" held in Cetraro in 2019,
this book collects together lecture notes prepared by Y. Achdou (with M.
Laurière), P. Cardaliaguet, F. Delarue, A. Porretta and F. Santambrogio.
These notes will be valuable for researchers and advanced graduate
students who wish to approach this theory and explore its connections
with several different fields in mathematics.
