CAMP/Nonlinear PDEs Seminar

Wednesdays at 4pm in Eckhart 202.

Fall 2009 Schedule.

October 5th - Joint with Calderon-Zygmund seminar

Pierre Louis Lions, Collège de France.
On Mean-Field Games and related topics.

We explain how we can derive rigorously MFG models from Nash equilibria letting the number of players go to infintiy. This derivation requires an analytical framework of independent interest which allows to deduce from finite dimensional equations and analyse mathematically various Partial Differential Equations on the space of probablity measures.

October 7th

Pierre Louis Lions, Collège de France.
On Mean-Field Games and related topics.

We present the mathematical state of the art about the new systems of Partial Differential equations known as MFG models. The issues that we discuss are: uniqueness, existence, numerical approximation and various qualitative properties of solutions.

October 14th

Pierre Louis Lions, Collège de France.
On Mean-Field Games and related topics.

We present a few examples of applications of MFG models like, for instance, a model for "mexican waves", for the starting time of a meeting or for growth through training and competition...
