Mean field games. II: Finite horizon and optimal control. (Jeux à champ moyen. II: Horizon fini et contrôle optimal.) (French. English summary) Zbl 1153.91010

Summary: We continue our study of the notion of mean field games that we introduced in a previous Note [Part I, see C. R., Math., Acad. Sci. Paris 343, No. 9, 619–625 (2006; Zbl 1153.91009)]. We consider here the case of Nash equilibria for stochastic control type problems in finite horizon. We present general existence and uniqueness results for the partial differential equations systems that we introduce. We also give a possible interpretation of these systems in term of optimal control.
