Discrete time McKean-Vlasov control problem: a dynamic programming approach

Probability 2015-12-01 v1 Optimization and Control

Abstract

We consider the stochastic optimal control problem of nonlinear mean-field systems in discrete time. We reformulate the problem into a deterministic control problem with marginal distribution as controlled state variable, and prove that dynamic programming principle holds in its general form. We apply our method for solving explicitly the mean-variance portfolio selection and the multivariate linear-quadratic McKean-Vlasov control problem.
