Abstract:
In this talk, we address the question of uniqueness of weak solutions for stationary first-order Mean-Field Games (MFGs). Despite well-established existence results, establishing uniqueness, particularly for weaker solutions in the sense of monotone operators, remains an open challenge. Building upon the framework of monotonicity methods, we introduce a linearization method that enables us to prove a weak-strong uniqueness result for stationary MFG systems on the $d$-dimensional torus. In particular, we give explicit conditions under which this uniqueness holds.
