The maximum principle for optimal control of mean‐field FBSDE driving by Teugels martingales with terminal state constraints

Abstract

AbstractThis article studies the problem of optimal control with state constraints for mean‐field type stochastic systems, which is governed by a fully coupled forward‐backward stochastic differential equation with Teugels martingales. In this system, the coefficients contain not only the state processes but also its expectation value, and the cost function is of mean‐field type as well. We use an equivalent backward formulation to deal with the terminal state constraint, and then we obtain a stochastic maximum principle by Ekeland's variational principle. In addition, we discuss a stochastic linear‐quadratic control problem with state constraints.
