Grainger College of Engineering Seminars & Speakers

"NO HARD MATERIALS SEMINAR"

Mean field games are a very popular model of dynamic interaction of large scale selfish agents. In this talk, I will consider a general model of discrete-time Stackelberg mean field games with a leader and an infinite number of followers. The leader and the followers each observe types privately that evolve as conditionally independent controlled Markov processes.
