Entropy-Regularized Mean-Field Games with Average-Reward Criterion: Span-Seminorm Contractions and Model-Free Learning

We study stationary discrete-time mean-field games with finite state and action spaces under the average-reward criterion, with an entropy-regularized objective and population-dependent dynamics and rewards. Under a minorization condition, the soft Q-operator is a span-seminorm contraction for the full transition kerne...

Infinite Horizon Mean-Field Terminal Value Problem

We introduce a class of finite- and infinite-horizon discrete-time control problems for studying macroscale systems in discrete time, which we refer to as mean-field terminal value problems (MFTVPs). An MFTVP takes a terminal \(Q\)-function as input and, starting from this terminal \(Q\)-function, seeks an indefinite b...

Monotone Inclusion Approach to Weakly Monotone Discrete-Time Finite-Horizon Mean-Field Games

We revisit the problem of computing mean-field equilibria (MFEs) in discrete-time, monotone, finite-horizon mean-field games (MFGs). We show that, when the transition kernel is independent of the state-measure term and the reward function satisfies the usual weak monotonicity condition and is Lipschitz continuous, anch...
