Social Optima of Linear Forward-Backward Stochastic System
Abstract
A linear quadratic (LQ) stochastic optimization system involving large population, which is driven by forward-backward stochastic differential equation (FBSDE), is investigated in this paper. Agents cooperate with each other to minimize the so-called social objective, which is rather different from mean field (MF) game. Employing forward-backward person-by-person optimality principle, we derive an auxiliary LQ control problem by decentralized information. A decentralized strategy is obtained by virtue of an MF-type forward-backward stochastic differential equation consistency condition. Applying Riccati equation decoupling method, we solve the consistency condition system. We also verify the asymptotic social optimality in this framework.
