Asymptotic behavior of Riemann solutions for the one-dimensional mean-field games in conservative form with the logarithmic coupling term

Abstract

Construction of Riemann solutions for a hyperbolic system in conservative form arising from the one-dimensional mean-field games with the quadratic Hamiltonian and the logarithmic coupling term are provided in detail. Moreover, the delta shock formation is concretely analyzed from the limit of double-shock-solution as well as the emergence of vacuum state is also specifically discussed from the limit of double-rarefaction-solution when the coupling coefficient drops to zero. Accordingly, the remarkable cavitation and concentration phenomena can be closely observed and explored. Additionally, the numerical experiments are also presented in correspondence to authenticate the theoretical analysis results.
