We present a finite-dimensional numerical approximation for a class of extended mean field control problems. Our algorithm learns the value function on the whole Wasserstein domain, as opposed to a fixed initial condition. We leverage the approximation of the mean field problem by a finite-player cooperative optimisation problem, due to the propagation of chaos, together with the usage of finite-dimensional solvers. This avoids the need to directly approximate functions on an infinite-dimensional domain, and allows for more efficient memory usage and faster computation times. Based on a joint work with Athena Picarelli and Jonathan Tam.
