AbstractWe study the averaging of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation with fast variables in the viscosity solution sense in infinite dimensions. We prove that the viscosity solution of the original equation converges to the viscosity solution of the averaged equation and apply this result to the limit problem of the value function for an optimal control problem with fast variables.

The present paper considers a stochastic optimal control problem, in which the cost function is defined through a backward stochastic differential equation with infinite horizon driven by G-Brownian motion. Then we study the regularities of the value function and establish the dynamic programming principle. Moreover, we prove that the value function is the unique viscosity solution of the related Hamilton−Jacobi−Bellman−Isaacs (HJBI) equation.

This paper considers a mean field game model inspired by crowd motion where agents want to leave a given bounded domain through a part of its boundary in minimal time. Each agent is free to move in any direction, but their maximal speed is bounded in terms of the average density of agents around their position in order to take into account congestion phenomena. After a preliminary study of the corresponding minimal-time optimal control problem, we formulate the mean field game in a Lagrangian setting and prove existence of Lagrangian equilibria using a fixed point strategy. We provide a further study of equilibria under the assumption that agents may leave the domain through the whole boundary, in which case equilibria are described through a system of a continuity equation on the distribution of agents coupled with a Hamilton–Jacobi equation on the value function of the optimal control problem solved by each agent. This is possible thanks to the semiconcavity of the value function, which follows from some further regularity properties of optimal trajectories obtained through Pontryagin Maximum Principle. Simulations illustrate the behavior of equilibria in some particular situations.
