This paper derives optimality conditions for control problems in mean-field dynamics, highlighting an explicit control solution.
In this paper, we study the linear-quadratic control problem for mean-field backward stochastic differential equations (MF-BSDE) with random coefficients. We first derive a preliminary stochastic maximum principle to analyze the unique solvability of the optimality system for this control problem through the variational method. Subsequently, we reformulate the mean-field linear-quadratic (MF-BSLQ) problem as a constrained BSDE control problem by imposing constraints on the expectation processes, which we solve using the Extended Lagrange multiplier method. Finally, we derive an explicit expression for the optimal control associated with Problem (MF-BSLQ).
