We systematically investigate mean field games and mean field type control problems with multiple populations. We study the mean field limits of the three different situations; (i) every agent is non-cooperative; (ii) the agents within each population are cooperative; and (iii) the agents in some populations are cooperative. We provide several sets of sufficient conditions for the existence of a mean field equilibrium for each case. We also show that, under appropriate conditions, each mean field solution actually provides an approximate Nash equilibrium for the corresponding game with a large but finite number of agents.

Keywords: Mean field game, mean field type control, FBSDE of McKean-Vlasov type.
