Abstract

We study the optimal control of discrete time mean filed dynamical systems under partial observations. We express the global law of the filtered process as a controlled system with its own dynamics. Following a dynamic programming approach, we prove a verification result providing a solution to the optimal control of the filtered system. As an application, we study a general linear quadratic example for which an explicit solution is given. We also describe an algorithm for the numerical approximation of the optimal value and provide numerical experiments on a financial example.
