Abstract

This article presents mean-field-type games with both atomic and non-atomic decision-makers.We establish sufficiency conditions for equilibria in state-and-mean-field-type feedback strategies using Bellman systems in the space of measures. We then derive master adjoint systems. The computation of the equilibrium system is illustrated in variance-aware games with heterogeneous decisionmakers.
