Mean field games master equations: from discrete to continuous state space
No full textInternational audienceThis paper studies the convergence of mean field games with finite state space to mean field games with a continuous state space. We examine a space discretization of a diffusive dynamics, which is reminiscent of the Markov chain approximation method in stochasctic control, but also of finite difference numerical schemes. We are mainly interested in the convergence of the solution of the associated master equations as the number of states tends to infinity. We present two approaches, to treat the case without or with common noise, both under monotonicity assumptions. The first one uses the system of characteristics of the master equation, which is the MFG system, to establish a convergence rate for the master equations without common noise and the associated optimal trajectories, both in case there is a smooth solution to the limit master equation and in case there is not. The second approach relies on the notion of monotone solutions introduced by [8, 9]. In the presence of common noise, we show convergence of the master equations, with a convergence rate if the limit master equation is smooth, otherwise by compactness arguments
West Pokot County Gender Policy Paper 2024
No full textThe Constitution of Kenya contains important commitments to gender equality and women’s empowerment and provides the National Values and Principles that bind all Kenyans in implementing public policies, including those that relate to marginalized/minority groups. To effectively implement these constitutional provisions, it is necessary to formulate a comprehensive County Gender Policy. As such, the policy formulation process was undertaken through a consultative approach that involved the participation of a wide range of stakeholders, including ;The State department of Gender, County Departments, UN Agencies, County Assembly, Faith-Based Organizations, Civil Society Organizations, Private Sector, academia among other stakeholders. This policy is aligned to the Constitution, in particular the Bill of Rights and subsidiary
legislations; National and County Government systems and their respective mandates, Kenya Vision 2030, Medium Term Plan III (MTP III), the Governments ‘BETA’ Agenda (Universal Health Care, Food Security, Affordable Housing and Manufacturing), international and regional gender treaties that Kenya has ratified as well as emerging issues. The goal of the policy is to create access to social and economic opportunities towards empowering women, children, youth, and persons with disabilities. This is closely linked to the national gender and development policy which aims to achieve “gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE) in County development to enhance participation of women, men, boys, girls and other vulnerable and marginalized groups for the attainment of sustainable development. The policy sets legislative and
administrative measures to address the existing gaps in realization of gender equality and women’s empowerment. To ensure that gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE) are integrated into sectoral policies, planning, and programs, the policy identifies key thematic areas, namely: poverty, access to education, labor and economy, access to health care, governance, power, and decision making, ICT, respect of human rights, gender-based violence, intersectional discrimination, the media, disaster risk management and gender, cultural practices, land environment and natural resources, peace and security, food and nutritional security, institutional mechanism for the advancement of gender equality and women empowerment. The policy recognizes that the achievement of gender equality and women’s empowerment requires the concerted effort of all actors. In this respect, the policy calls upon the National and County Governments, Constitutional Commissions and 2 Independent Offices, Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs) and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and the private sector to work together in ensuring a better life for the people of West Pokot County. I urge all stakeholders to join me in ensuring the full implementation of this policy to achieve gender equality in West Pokot County
