Splitting methods for a class of non-potential mean field games

We extend the methods from Nurbekyan, Saude "Fourier approximation methods for first-order nonlocal mean-field games" [Port. Math. 75 (2018), no. 3-4] and Liu, Jacobs, Li, Nurbekyan, Osher "Computational methods for nonlocal mean field games with applications" [arXiv:2004.12210] to a class of non-potential mean-field game (MFG) systems with mixed couplings. Up to now, splitting methods have been applied to potential MFG systems that can be cast as convex-concave saddle-point problems. Here, we show that a class of non-potential MFG can be cast as primal-dual pairs of monotone inclusions and solved via extensions of convex optimization algorithms such as the primal-dual hybrid gradient (PDHG) algorithm. A critical feature of our approach is in considering dual variables of nonlocal couplings in Fourier or feature spaces.
