On the existence and uniqueness of solutions to time-dependent fractional MFG

We establish existence and uniqueness of solutions to evolutive fractional Mean Field Game systems with regularizing coupling, for any order of the fractional Laplacian $s\in(0,1)$. The existence is addressed via the vanishing viscosity method. In particular, we prove that in the subcritical regime $s>1/2$ the solution of the system is classical, while if $s\leq 1/2$ we find a distributional energy solution. To this aim, we develop an appropriate functional setting based on parabolic Bessel potential spaces. We show uniqueness of solutions both under monotonicity conditions and for short time horizons.Comment: 42 page

On the problem of maximal LqL^q-regularity for viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations

For $q>2, \gamma > 1$, we prove that maximal regularity of $L^q$ type holds for periodic solutions to $-\Delta u + |Du|^\gamma = f$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, under the (sharp) assumption $q > d \frac{\gamma-1}\gamma$.Comment: 11 page

Lipschitz regularity for viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations with LpL^p terms

We provide Lipschitz regularity for solutions to viscous time-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi equations with right-hand side belonging to Lebesgue spaces. Our approach is based on a duality method, and relies on the analysis of the regularity of the gradient of solutions to a dual (Fokker-Planck) equation. Here, the regularizing effect is due to the non-degenerate diffusion and coercivity of the Hamiltonian in the gradient variable.Comment: 31 page

Mean field games models of segregation

This paper introduces and analyzes some models in the framework of mean field games (MFGs) describing interactions between two populations motivated by the studies on urban settlements and residential choice by Thomas Schelling. For static games, a large population limit is proved. For differential games with noise, the existence of solutions is established for the systems of partial differential equations of MFG theory, in the stationary and in the evolutive case. Numerical methods are proposed with several simulations. In the examples and in the numerical results, particular emphasis is put on the phenomenon of segregation between the populations. </jats:p

Gradient estimates for quasilinear elliptic Neumann problems with unbounded first-order terms

This paper studies global a priori gradient estimates for divergence-type equations patterned over the $p$-Laplacian with first-order terms having polynomial growth with respect to the gradient, under suitable integrability assumptions on the source term of the equation. The results apply to elliptic problems with unbounded data in Lebesgue spaces complemented with Neumann boundary conditions posed on convex domains of the Euclidean space
