Stochastic control of memory mean-field processes

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: By a memory mean-field process we mean the solution X(cdot) of a stochastic mean-field equation involving not just the current state X(t) and its law mathcalL(X(t)) at time t, but also the state values X(s) and its law mathcalL(X(s)) at some previous times s<t. Our purpose is to study stochastic control problems of memory mean-field processes. - We consider the space mathcalM of measures on mathbbR with the norm ||cdot||mathcalM introduced by Agram and {O}ksendal in cite{AO1}, and prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions of memory mean-field stochastic functional differential equations. - We prove two stochastic maximum principles, one sufficient (a verification theorem) and one necessary, both under partial information. The corresponding equations for the adjoint variables are a pair of emph{(time-) advanced backward stochastic differential equations}, one of them with values in the space of bounded linear functionals on path segment spaces. - As an application of our methods, we solve a memory mean-variance problem as well as a linear-quadratic problem of a memory process.
