Abstract: This talk examines a particular set of first-order mean-field games (MFGs) related to price formation. By utilizing Poincar茅's Lemma, we can remove one of the equations, reducing the problem to a single function known as the potential, which presents a different approach to solving the MFGs system. By solving a convex variational problem, we can determine the potential. Additionally, we establish the relation between solutions of the MFGs system and the variational problem. To demonstrate our findings, we apply them to the linear-quadratic model.
