As a by-product, we obtain an existence of relaxed solutions results for McKean- Vlasov stochastic singular control problems. Finally, we prove that the solutions to a particular class of MFGs with singular controls can be approximated by the solutions to MFGs with purely regular control. Our existence and approximation results strongly hinge on the use of the Skorokhod $M1$ topology on the space of c\\`adl\\`ag functions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-12-16T10:54:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "93E20", "91B70", "60H30" ], "keywords": [ "mean field games", "vlasov stochastic singular control problems", "relaxed solutions", "approximation results strongly hinge" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
