| contents | Motivated by the recent interests in asymmetric mean field games, this paper provides a general framework of Heterogeneous Mean Field Game (HMFG) that subsumes different formulations of graphon mean field games. The key feature of the HMFG is that the players interact with the population through the density ensemble. In this case, the HMFG system becomes an infinite-dimensional Forward-Backward SDE (FBSDE) system. We show that the FBSDE is locally well-posed, thus the HMFG has a unique equilibrium. In addition, we show that the equilibrium of HMFG is a good approximate equilibrium of the corresponding N-Player Game. Lastly, we derive the Itô formula of infinite-dimensional measure flow and use it to obtain the master equation for HMFG as a decoupling field of the infinite-dimensional FBSDE system. |
