This paper is devoted to a viscosity solution theory of the stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation in the Wasserstein spaces for the mean-field type control problem which allows for random coefficients and may thus be non-Markovian.…
It is well-known that solutions to the basic problem in the calculus of variations may fail to be Lipschitz continuous when the Lagrangian depends on t. Similarly, for viscosity solutions to time-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi equations one…
