Mean field games (MFG) and mean field control (MFC) are critical classes of multi-agent models for efficient analysis of massive populations of interacting agents. Their areas of application span topics in economics, finance, game theory, industrial engineering, crowd motion, and more. In this paper, we provide a flexible machine learning framework for the numerical solution of potential MFG and MFC models. State of-the-art numerical methods for solving such problems utilize spatial discretization that leads to a curse-of-dimensionality. We approximately solve high-dimensional problems by combining Lagrangian and Eulerian viewpoints and leveraging recent advances from machine learning. More precisely, we work with a Lagrangian formulation of the problem and enforce the underlying Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation that is derived from the Eulerian formulation. Finally, a tailored neural network parameterization of the MFG/MFC solution helps us avoid any spatial discretization. Our numerical results include the approximate solution of 100-dimensional instances of optimal transport and crowd motion problems on a standard work station and a validation using a Eulerian solver in two dimensions. These results open the door to much-anticipated applications of MFG and MFC models that were beyond reach with existing numerical methods.

In 1975, P. Erd\"{o}s proposed the problem of determining the maximum number $f(n)$ of edges in a graph with $n$ vertices in which any two cycles are of different lengths. In this paper, it is proved that $$f(n)\geq n+\frac{107}{3}t+\frac{7}{3}$$ for $t=1260r+169 \,\ (r\geq 1)$ and $n \geq \frac{2119}{4}t^{2}+87978t+\frac{15957}{4}$. Consequently, $\liminf\sb {n \to \infty} {f(n)-n \over \sqrt n} \geq \sqrt {2 + \frac{7654}{19071}},$ which is better than the previous bounds $\sqrt 2$ (Shi, 1988), $\sqrt {2.4}$ (Lai, 2003). The conjecture $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} {f(n)-n\over \sqrt n}=\sqrt {2.4}$ is not true.

The Hamiltonian cycle problem is an important problem in graph theory and computer science. It is a special case of the famous traveling salesman problem. A signicant amount of research has been done on the special cases of nding Hamiltonian cycles in subgraphs of triangular, square and hexagonal grids. However, there is little work on more complicated grids. In this paper, we investigate the hardness of Hamiltonian cycle problem in grid graphs of semiregular tessellations, which are tessellations formed by two or more kinds of regular polygons. There are only eight semiregular tessellations, and we prove that the Hamiltonian cycle problem in all of them are NP-complete by reducing from NP-complete problems, such as the Hamiltonian cycle problem in max degree 3 bipartite planar graphs. Knowing the NP-completeness of Hamiltonian cycle problem in semiregular grids indicates that there will not be any polynomial time algorithm that solves the Hamiltonian path problem in these tessellations if NP does not equal to P, which helps show the limits of ecient motion planning algorithms and provides new information about what makes problems computationally dicult to solve.

We give simple conditions on an ambient manifold that are necessary and sufficient for isoperimetric inequalities to hold.

We consider $N\times N$ Hermitian or symmetric random matrices with independent entries. The distribution of the $(i,j)$-th matrix element is given by a probability measure $\nu_{ij}$ whose first two moments coincide with those of the corresponding Gaussian ensemble. We prove that the joint probability distribution of the components of eigenvectors associated with eigenvalues close to the spectral edge agrees with that of the corresponding Gaussian ensemble. For eigenvectors associated with bulk eigenvalues, the same conclusion holds provided the first four moments of the distribution $\nu_{ij}$ coincide with those of the corresponding Gaussian ensemble. More generally, we prove that the joint eigenvector-eigenvalue distributions near the spectral edge of two generalized Wigner ensembles agree, provided that the first two moments of the entries match and that one of the ensembles satisfies a level repulsion estimate. If in addition the first four moments match then this result holds also in the bulk.
