Abstract

This paper investigates first the existence and uniqueness of solutions for McKean-Vlasov forward-backward doubly stochastic differential equations (MV-FBDSDEs) in infinite-dimensional real separable Hilbert spaces. These equations combine the features of forward-backward doubly stochastic differential equations with the mean-field approach, allowing the coefficients to depend on the solution distribution. We establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions for MV-FBDSDEs using the method of continuation and provide an example and a counterexample to illustrate our findings. Moreover, we extend the practical applicability of our results by employing them within the context of the stochastic maximum principle for a control problem governed by MV-FBDSDEs. This study contributes to the field of stochastic control problems and presents the first analysis of MV-FBDSDEs in infinite-dimensional spaces.
