A stability property in mean field type differential games

Abstract

The paper is concerned with the feedback approach to the deterministic mean field type differential games. Previously, it was shown that suboptimal strategies in the mean field type differential game can constructed based on functions of time and probability satisfying the stability condition. This property realizes the dynamic programming principle for the constant control of one player. We present the infinitesimal form of this condition involving analogs of the directional derivatives. In particular, we obtain the characterization of the value function of the deterministic mean field type differential game in the terms of directional derivatives and the set of directions feasible by virtue of the dynamics of the game.
