Abstract

We study risk-sensitive optimal control of a stochastic differential equation (SDE) of mean-field type, where the coefficients are allowed to depend on some functional of the law as well as the state and control processes. Moreover the risk-sensitive cost functional is also of mean-field type. We derive optimality equations in infinite dimensions connecting dual functions associated with Bellman functional to the adjoint process of the Pontryagin maximum principle. The case of linear-exponentiated quadratic cost and its connection with the risk-neutral solution is discussed.
