A Class of Linear-Quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) Mean-Field Game (MFG) of Stochastic Delay Systems

This paper investigates the linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) mean-field game (MFG) for a class of stochastic delay systems. We consider a large population system in which the dynamics of each player satisfies some forward stochastic differential delay equation (SDDE). The consistency condition or Nash certainty equivalence (NCE) principle is established through an auxiliary mean-field system of anticipated forward-backward stochastic differential equation with delay (AFBSDDE). The wellposedness of such consistency condition system can be further established by some continuation method instead the classical fixed-point analysis. Thus, the consistency condition maybe given on arbitrary time horizon. The decentralized strategies are derived which are shown to satisfy the $ε$-Nash equilibrium property. Two special cases of our MFG for delayed system are further investigated.
