   Abstract:
   In this paper, we introduce a bilevel optimization framework for addressing inverse mean-field games, alongside an exploration of numerical methods tailored for this bilevel problem. The primary benefit of our bilevel formulation lies in maintaining the convexity of the objective function and the linearity of constraints in the forward problem. Our paper focuses on inverse mean-field games characterized by unknown obstacles and metrics. We show numerical stability for these two types of inverse problems. More importantly, we, for the first time, establish the identifiability of the inverse mean-field game with unknown obstacles via the solution of the resultant bilevel problem. The bilevel approach enables us to employ an alternating gradient-based optimization algorithm with a provable convergence guarantee. To validate the effectiveness of our methods in solving the inverse problems, we have designed comprehensive numerical experiments, providing empirical evidence of its efficacy.
