Abstract

In the standard formulation of a game, a player's payoff function depends on the states and actions of all the players. Yet, real world applications suggest to consider also a functional of the probability measure of states and actions of all the players. In this paper, we consider cooperative mean-field type games in which the state dynamics and the payoffs depend not only on the state and actions but also on their probability measure. We establish stochastic maximum principle and provide a time-dependent payoff allocation procedure for coalitions. The allocated payoff considers not only fairness property but also the cost of making the coalition. Finally, time consistency and subgame perfectness solution concept equations are established.
