Abstract
In this paper, we first prove that the mean-field stochastic linear quadratic (MFSLQ for short) control problem with random coefficients has a unique optimal control and derive a preliminary stochastic maximum principle to characterize this optimal control by an optimality system. However, because of the term of the form in the adjoint equation, which cannot be represented in the form , we cannot solve this optimality system explicitly. To this end, we decompose the MFSLQ control problem into two problems without the mean-field terms, and one of them is a constrained problem. The constrained SLQ control problem is solved explicitly by an extended LaGrange multiplier method developed in this article.
