A general time-inconsistent optimal control problem is considered for stochastic differential equations with deterministic coefficients. Under suitable conditions, a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman type equation is derived for the equilibrium value function of the problem. Well-posedness such an equation is studied, and time-consistent equilibrium strategies are constructed. As special cases, the linear-quadratic problem and a generalized Merton's portfolio problem are investigated.
