We study the stochastic control-stopping problem when the data are of polynomial growth. The approach is based on backward stochastic dierential equations (BSDEs for short). The problem turns into the study of a specic reected BSDE with a…

This work concerns the optimal control problem for McKean-Vlasov SDEs. We provide explicit conditions to ensure the existence of optimal Markovian feedback controls. Moreover, based on the flow property of the McKean-Vlasov SDE, the dynamic…

It is strange but fruitful to think about the functions as random processes. Any function can be viewed as a martingale (in many different ways) with discrete time. But it can be useful to have continuous time too. Processes can emulate…

We study the convergence problem for mean field control, also known as optimal control of McKean-Vlasov dynamics. We assume that the data is smooth but not convex, and thus the limiting value function $\mathcal{U} :[0,T] \times…
