This article is concerned with an optimal control problem derived by mean-field forward-backward stochastic differential equation with noisy observation, where the drift coefficients of the state equation and the observation equation are linear with respect to the state and its expectation. The control problem is different from the existing literature on optimal control for mean-field stochastic systems, and has more applications in mathematical finance, e.g., asset-liability management problem with recursive utility, systematic risk model. Using a backward separation method with a decomposition technique, two optimality conditions along with two coupled forward-backward optimal filters are derived. Several linear-quadratic optimal control problems for mean-field forward-backward stochastic differential equations are studied. Closed-form optimal solutions are explicitly obtained in detailed situations.
This paper studies the problem of partially observed optimal control for forward-backward stochastic systems which are driven both by Brownian motions and an independent Poisson random measure. Combining forward-backward stochastic differential equation theory with certain classical convex variational techniques, the necessary maximum principle is proved for the partially observed optimal control, where the control domain is a nonempty convex set. Under certain convexity assumptions, the author also gives the sufficient conditions of an optimal control for the aforementioned optimal optimal problem. To illustrate the theoretical result, the author also works out an example of partial information linear-quadratic optimal control, and finds an explicit expression of the corresponding optimal control by applying the necessary and sufficient maximum principle.
